High Rogers Water Bill: Leak, Irrigation and Sewer Review
Meter test
Turn off all fixtures, dishwasher and washing machine. Watch the meter. If it changes, suspect a fast leak.
2-hour check
If meter does not change immediately, wait two hours without using water. A change suggests a slower leak.
Toilet dye test
Add food coloring to tank and wait 20 minutes. Color in bowl means a leak into the drain.
Responsibility split
RWU repairs leaks between the main and meter. Piping after the meter is homeowner/private responsibility.
| Possible cause | Official / practical clue | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| More people at home | RWU lists visiting family or higher household activity as non-leak usage cause. | Compare occupancy and bill period. |
| Seasonal use | Lawn/flower watering, water play, pool fill and outdoor hose left running are listed examples. | Check irrigation timers, hoses and pool fill dates. |
| Toilet leak | RWU notes toilets are common silent leaks; 20%-35% of residential toilets may leak to some degree. | Check flapper, chain, water level and dye test. |
| Tank water level too high | Water level should be no higher than 1 inch below overflow tube. | Adjust float or repair fill valve. |
| Slab leak | Moist/wet floor, warm spot, dripping sound, foundation water or sudden settling. | Call a plumber and document findings. |
| Lawn / buried line leak | Very green or fast-growing patch, puddles, or leak where line enters house. | Walk yard between meter and home; check irrigation area. |
| Hose/spigot leak | Water seeping through hose connection while running. | Replace rubber hose gasket and tighten connection. |
| Sewer credit question | RWU FAQ says if a leak is repaired you may call for possible credit on sewer bill. | Keep repair receipt and explain whether leaked water entered sewer. |
Sewer Stoppage, No Water, Leak or After-Hours Emergency
After-hours emergency
RWU says after-hours emergency calls use the same 24-hour phone number.
Sewer stoppage
Call RWU immediately before calling another service professional.
RWU determines whether the stoppage is private system or sewer main.
Main-to-meter vs private side
RWU repairs public-side leaks between main and meter. Customer/plumber handles homeowner side after meter.
| Problem | Call / route | Say this | Safety note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sewer backup or stoppage | 479-621-1142 | “Sewer is backing up at [fixture/room]. Please check if it is private system or sewer main.” | Avoid wastewater contact; keep children and pets away. |
| No water | 479-621-1142 | “No water at [address]. Neighbors [are/are not] affected.” | Check account status too, but do not delay urgent reporting. |
| Street leak / main break | 479-621-1142 | “Water is flowing/bubbling at [address/cross street].” | Stay away from traffic, sinkholes and moving water. |
| Meter leak | 479-621-1142 | “Water is leaking near the meter at [address].” | Do not tamper with meter or meter box. |
| Private-side leak | Plumber + RWU if billing/sewer credit question | “Leak appears after meter and was repaired on [date].” | Keep invoice/parts receipt and photos. |
Freeze Protection: Meter, Pipes, Shut-Off Valve and Irrigation
Know the shut-off valve
- Locate the home’s main shut-off valve.
- Mark it with an identification tag.
- Make sure everyone in the home knows where it is.
- This is different from the shut-off valve in the meter box.
Protect exposed pipes
- Wrap exposed pipes with heat tape, foam sleeves or fiberglass insulation.
- Focus on unheated areas below 32 degrees.
- Open cabinet doors to warm pipes.
- Drip an indoor faucet along exterior wall or farthest from main connection.
Protect the meter
- RWU owns the water meter.
- Customer is responsible for protecting it.
- If meter breaks from freezing or other damage, RWU charges customer for replacement.
- Winterize irrigation system: shut off, timers off, drain water, insulate above-ground components.
Cold-weather drip size: RWU says during extremely cold periods the trickle should be about the size of a pencil point.
