Leak relief and household assistance

A high water bill may have a path to review

Hidden plumbing failures can produce an alarming bill before the problem is visible. This guide separates what East Cherry Creek Valley Water & Sanitation District publicly describes from the practical steps every customer can take while requesting help.

Provider-specific review

What the public record says about a leak adjustment

ECCV asks customers to speak with an employee at (303) 693-3800, extension 123, before completing a leak-adjustment request; submissions without prior screening will not be considered. The District provides courtesy leak checks at the meter to determine whether a leak exists and its rate, and free water-use assessments. The reviewed 2026 pages do not state a universal credit formula, repair-receipt list, or claim deadline, so customers should retain plumber invoices, photographs, portal usage, and meter records for the screening.

1

Stop the loss

Shut off the failing fixture or supply and arrange a qualified repair.

2

Keep proof

Save dated invoices, parts receipts, photographs, and meter readings.

3

Request review

Submit the request promptly and keep paying any undisputed amount.

Utility assistance

Customer assistance and eligibility

ECCV does not publish a general senior, disabled-veteran, or low-income bill credit. Its 2026 conservation program has a $55,000 annual rebate pool; high-efficiency toilet rebates are $50 or $100 per toilet, up to two credits per account, which is a conservation incentive rather than an affordability program.

State and federal connections

Where to ask for broader aid

The reviewed ECCV pages do not publish a Colorado LEAP/LIHWAP water-assistance application or federal award-posting process. Customers should contact ECCV and separately verify current Arapahoe County, Colorado, and nonprofit assistance programs.

Leak and assistance notes

Build the file before asking East Cherry Creek Valley Water & Sanitation District for relief

A high bill can have several causes, including a hidden plumbing failure, irrigation use, a meter issue, a change in occupancy, or a rate adjustment. The provider’s leak policy determines whether any credit is available; an unusually high bill does not automatically qualify.

Keep a dated record of the reading, the suspected source, the repair, the contractor or parts receipt, and the return to normal use. Ask whether the utility requires a specific form, a licensed repair, a meter test, photos, or a request within a fixed number of days.

For income-related difficulty, ask about local assistance, payment arrangements, state programs, and community referrals separately from a leak adjustment. These programs often use different applications, documents, funding limits, and deadlines.
