It is your responsibility to ensure that all water faucets are off and there are no leaks during the cut on procedure. If you have a hand gate valve on your waterline it is highly recommended that the valve is in the off position. If there is any water running inside at the time of cut on, the water will be turned off at the meter and a tag will be left on the door instructing you to call the Utility Billing Office. ($25 call back fee will be applied if second trip required.) The City is not responsible for any damage that may be cause by water running inside the home.
-You are responsible for any and all City of Jacksonville utility bills generated at the address of service unless notice of termination is received by the City of Jacksonville Utility Billing Office. Monthly Charges will continue as long as service is furnished in applicant’s name at the service address.
