How do I request a credit if there has been a water leak in my home?
To be considered for a leak credit, complete a leak report (PDF) and send it to Public Utilities or submit your leak report electronically using our online leak report form.
How do I find out what the flushing signs mean in my neighborhood?
A flushing sign means our crews will be cleaning the water lines in the area. The sign includes the dates we will be working in your neighborhood. Call Public Utilities at 804-365-6024 if you have questions.
How do I find out what a backflow preventer is and if I need one?
Backflow preventers are devices on your water line that prevent water from moving backwards, preventing possible contamination. It is required that each home has:
- A vacuum breaker on each outdoor spigot. These are inexpensive to purchase and available at most hardware stores.
- A backflow preventer on the irrigation system. These must be tested annually by a licensed backflow prevention tester. Most irrigation companies can provide this service.
How can I get a copy of my neighborhood’s annual water quality report?
Water quality reports tell you where your water comes from and what our tests show about its quality. They are updated once a year.
