The progressions are fundamental so as to align the Department's approach with the bill modification strategies of other water suppliers in the region, to give charge alterations in a progressively productive and predictable way, and to decrease deceitful bill change claims. This new arrangement is reasonable for all clients, especially to those clients that never get a modification and basically finance the individuals who do. 1) Strict adherence to a strategy of one change for each year per client. Exemptions will be given if the client moved to an alternate location. 2) The client's bill must be in any event multiple times more noteworthy than their year normal bill. On account of a release, the client will be in charge of the sum that is multiple times more prominent than the year normal. The balanced bill sum is the distinction between the high bill and multiple times the month to month normal. 3) The sum discounted must be in any event $10.00. 4) Customers must give a fix receipt or a sections receipt to demonstrate the hole has been fixed. On the off chance that the client doesn't submit proof of fix, no alteration will be given. No exemption will be given if proof was not given. 5) Customer administration agents will never again endorse spill alterations. All hole changes will be investigated and affirmed by the office administrator. Step by step instructions to USE YOUR METER TO CHECK FOR LEAKS Be certain no water is on inside your residence. This incorporates toilets, ice producers, clothes washers, and so forth. On the off chance that no water is on, check your meter for any development of the dial. At the point when water is going through the meter, the dial will move a clockwise way. In the event that water is off and the dial moves, you have a hole. When you have decided you have a break, call a handyman or do the fixes yourself. The Madison County Water Department isn't in charge of the lines from the meter to your home. Each Drop Counts!!! A spigot releasing one drop for every second squanders 2,400 gallons for each year. To check if your latrine tank is spilling, put a couple of drops of nourishment shading in the tank, hold up around 15 minutes, and look in the bowl. On the off chance that the nourishment shading appears there, the tank is spilling. DRY WEATHER WATER CONSERVATION TIPS Drought conditions are causing a bigger than normal utilization of water, bringing about certain clients encountering lower weights.

(This is nearly a similar sum as you use inside the house in a whole week.) when in doubt, set up yards don't should be watered more often than each five to seven days. Water yards and gardens promptly in the first part of the day or during the evening, when temperatures are lowest, and spare 30% or a greater amount of the water regularly lost to vanishing. Try not to enable sprinklers to water your road, garage or walkway. Raise the stature of your trimmer with the goal that you are cutting grass at the most noteworthy recommended tallness. A higher slice urges grass roots to develop further, conceals the root framework and holds soil dampness superior to a firmly cut yard. Evade over treating your yard. Manure applications increment the requirement for water. Use mulch around trees and bushes and in nursery beds to hold dampness in the dirt. Try not to utilize the hose to clean your carport or walkway Ñ utilize a sweeper. Utilize a shut-off spout on your hose with the goal that water streams just as required.
