Please contact our office at 817-274-7368 and a one-time extension will be extended to you for extenuating circumstances.

What do I do if I am experiencing low pressure?

Check your meter and the surrounding area for possible leaks. Next, call our office and report low pressure for your area.

Why do I have a previous balance when I know I sent in my payment?

We may have received it after the due date or we may not have received it at all. Call our office at 817-274-7368 and we will help resolve the problem.

Why is my water discolored?

A repair could have been completed recently allowing air to enter the line, causing the milky look.

When will water be turned on for new service?

Customer must be available at location between the hours of 9:00am to 11:00am or 12:00pm to 3:00pm.  The time schedule to select is on the Application for City Services (New Water Services).

Remote Water Meter System

What is an AMI Meter?

AMI meters are the same style and accuracy used in the water industry for years.  The change is that the new meters are remotely read. Instead of a meter reader visiting your home, the AMI system transmits readings throughout the day over a secure radio network.

Why are the traditional meters being replaced?

AMI technology allows customers to track their water usage daily and helps address billing concerns. Replacing aging water meters throughout the water distribution system also improves meter accuracy, leading to less “lost water” or water usage that is not billed. 

Will a meter reader still need to visit to read the meter?

DWG staff will not be on site to read AMI meters monthly. 

Is my AMI meter accurate?

All meters must meet standards set by the national American Water Works Association when installed, and they are guaranteed by the manufacturers.
