My water bill shows an unusual high usage, what should I do?
When you receive an unusual high water bill, it is a high possibility that you have a toilet valve leak or leak from one of your faucets. Check your toilet, to make sure there is no leak. To help you identify the toilet leak, put a dye pill in the toilet tank and see if the dye color gets in the toilet bowl without any flush. To help you identify the toilet leak, we have dye pills available for pick up from the DPW office located at 40 Churchill Avenue in Franklin Township.
You can also determine leaks by reading your water meter when no one is in the home for a period of time. Write down the meter reading before you leave the house and compare the meter reading after you come back. If the meter readings are significantly different, you may have a leak. Please consult with your plumber to repair the leak.
What should I do when a Boiling Water Advisory is issued?
Please follow the boiling water guidelines to bring the water to “rolling boil” for 1 minute before drinking it. Please contact Somerset County Health Department for more details
