Application for new water utility service requires a 48-hour advance notice in order to allow sufficient time to obtain a meter reading at the residence. Also, two types of personal identification are required to open an account. Your first bill will reflect the new service start-up fee charge.
A minimum deposit per residential account is required. The deposit may be waived by providing written or faxed reference information from a local Southern California water utility reflecting an excellent payment history for 12 months. Any water deposits may be refunded at the customer’s request after having made timely payments for one year.
