Responsibilities

How to Establish Service

To establish a water account, the customer is asked to come to the Utility Collections Office at 907 E. Houston and make a deposit. Identification is required on new deposits to protect the customer from someone else establishing an account in his/her name. New account holders are required to bring a signed rental/lease agreement or proof of ownership along with all the previous required documents for new service.
