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 West Jordan City Water Utility 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

West Jordan provides a Leak Adjustment Request Form for customers who have repaired a water leak and want the account reviewed. The City advises customers to identify leaks and use the My Water Advisor portal to receive real-time usage and leak notifications. The reviewed pages do not expose the precise credit equation, receipt checklist, cap, or deadline, so customers should submit repair proof and the form rather than assume approval.

Stop the loss

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

Keep proof

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

Request review

Submit the request promptly and keep paying any undisputed amount.

Utility assistance

Customer assistance and eligibility

The City publishes a Utility Hardship Program link. The FY2026 budget also states that qualified low-income residents may receive Salt Lake County Circuit Breaker Relief for the first 7,000 gallons of water; the reviewed pages do not state the current household-income threshold or dollar cap.

State and federal connections

Where to ask for broader aid

West Jordan points customers to the City's Utility Hardship Program and Salt Lake County Circuit Breaker Relief. The reviewed water pages do not identify a current LIHWAP application URL or charity tie-in; customers should contact Finance at 801-569-5000 for current county/state referrals.

Leak and assistance notes

Build the file before asking West Jordan City Water Utility 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.
