Service Charges

Charges are made for routine and special services to recover a portion of the expense of setting up and handling new accounts.

Service charges are imposed for the following: new service, transfer of service, trips to turn water on/off at customer’s request, reread water meter if reading is found to be correct, test meters if meter accuracy is correct, damage to LCWSA property (locks, curb stops, etc), if an account is unpaid at the time the collection list is generated and meter service employees have left to begin disconnects for nonpayment, pulled meters, cut locks, and illegal use of water.

See our Miscellaneous Fee Policy for service charge amounts.

Payment Arrangements

In the event a customer’s account becomes past due and is subject to disconnect, the customer can get their past due balance below $36 and avoid interruption in service. This payment must be received prior to cutoff date. If a customer has questions or needs further information, contact us at 256-233-6444 or email us at customerservice@lcwsa.com.
