A “leak adjustment” is a discounted rate for water or sewer charges due to a leak on the customer’s portion of the water and sewer system. If a leak occurs on the residence side of the meter (anywhere from the meter to the home, or inside the home itself), a possible adjustment can be given. Therefore, NCWSA hereby adopts a policy to incentivize customers to address quickly and completely any and all leaks. However, NCWSA has an interest in efficient management of water and sewer resources and recognizes that leaks can result in unexpectedly high bills for customers. The customer is responsible for all costs associated with leaks from the NCWSA meter to the residence and inside the customer’s residence. Established Ap– Revised December 21, 2022 ![]()
