Meters are read from left to right. Some meters require that the register be multiplied by a factor to arrive at actual usage. Verify current reading on the meter and compare to current reading on the bill. If the reading is less than the reading on the bill, then it was misread. Please contact our office with the current reading for a corrected bill amount. If the reading is higher than the reading on the bill, the bill is correct and you may need to check for a leak.

Get the reading that is on your water meter. Refrain from water use for 4 hours then take another reading. If the reading has changed and no water was used, then a leak is present. It is the customer’s responsibility to make repairs on their side.

Water with a cloudy or milky look is caused by tiny air bubbles and should clear when sitting in a clear glass for a few minutes. You can let the water run for a short period of time to clear any bubbles from the line. If discoloration continues, please call Customer Service at (910) 893-7575. Even though water may have some discoloration it is safe to drink.

• Low pressure can be caused by a leak on the customer side. See also FAQ, “How do I check for a leak?”
• When water flow starts strong and drops after a few seconds, this could indicate a problem with the pressure reducing valve (PRV) on the customer line. This can be resolved by checking to see if the setting is set too low or by having it replaced.
• If there is a water main break or hydrant being used for flushing nearby, this could also reduce pressure for a temporary period of time. In the case that the problem is due to a main line break, you and your neighbors may also experience low pressure.
