Making repairs
The property owner is responsible for water pipes from the meter to the house. Some repairs, like a toilet or faucet may be done with the instruction provided by the RWPC, while other repairs or further detection may require professional assistance. Consult your local directory for professional plumbing services offered in the area. Toilet dye tabs can be obtained by contacting (503)675-3747.
Leak Adjustment Process
After your leak has been repaired and you have been billed for the high consumption, you can submit a Leak Adjustment Application form. Leak adjustments are reviewed by comparing the same consumption during the previous year. After the adjustment review is complete, you will be contacted with the results. Meanwhile, please be sure to pay any outstanding invoices by their due dates to avoid discontinuation of service and additional charges. Should the review result in qualifying for a leak adjustment, a credit will be applied to your account upon approval.
