Utility Billing

15

  • The most likely cause of a high bill is a water leak. The first course of action you should take is to examine your plumbing and fixtures to ensure the abnormal consumption is not caused by a water leak. Leaking faucets, toilets, shower heads, or other water using devices may waste water and your money. A running toilet can waste as much as 5,000 gallons a day and a dripping faucet can waste as much as 96 gallons a day!

    Next, you can contact the Utility Billing Office at 903-654-4825 during normal business hours. We can have one of our field technicians come out and re-check your meter. The city will provide one free meter re-check each calendar year; additional meter re-checks are $10. Keep in mind that you are responsible to pay the amount due as billed. A credit will be posted to the account in the event there is a meter problem.
    Utility Billing

  • Water meters throughout the City of Corsicana utility system are read electronically. Each water meter is equipped with an electronic register, which relays the reading from a transmitter box to a mobile meter reading vehicle equipped with a receiver. This system significantly reduces meter reading time and meter mis-reads. Occasionally, your meter may be read manually by a meter technician due to rain, debris, and other factors that can impede the radio signal.
    Utility Billing

  • It is always best to be at home when our technician arrives to connect your meter. However, if you cannot be home, please ensure that all water related devices (i.e. faucets, appliances, washer connections, etc.) are completely turned to the off position. A service technician will not leave a meter on if water continues to flow into the property and no one is available at the property. The city is not responsible for property damage resulting from open faucets or water system leaks. A door tag will be hung from your door advising why service could not be established in the event the meter cannot be left on.
    Utility Billing

  • As our meter technicians are not licensed plumbers, you should have your plumbing examined by a professional, licensed plumber. Our meter technicians basically perform a visual inspection of your meter to ensure it was read correctly and the meter appears to be working properly. They will indicate if they think there could be a leak, but it is always best to obtain the opinion of a licensed, professional plumber.

    We can arrange to have your meter tested for accuracy but keep in mind that you are responsible for the amount due as billed. This process can take 30-90 days depending on the maintenance department workload. There will be a service charge ($15 for a general test, $30 for certified meter calibration) assessed to your utility account if the meter test indicates the meter is reading accurately.

Fire Prevention FAQ

  • If a firetruck or other emergency vehicle is behind you or coming towards you with their lights and siren on, you should pull your vehicle to the right side of the road and stop. If you are unable to safely pull over (due to other traffic, etc) STOP and remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes your location. Many times, precious seconds are spent trying to maneuver a large firetruck through unyielding traffic.
