consumption, we may delay our response to your request until such time that your account has
accumulated a “normal use” history.

Required Documentation
Attach a copy of the repair invoice or receipts. Leak requests submitted without required documentation may be
delayed to request and receive additional information about the repair.
Only one adjustment will be allowed in a consecutive 12-month period (the highest month). Any adjustment will
occur after all leaks have been repaired and veried with an actual meter reading. The “Date Leak Repaired” eld
on this form must be completed before the request will be reviewed. This form is not a guarantee that a credit
will be applied to your utility bill. You will be notied by letter if a credit is not provided or if additional information
is needed. When determining leak-related credit, your average annual water consumption is computed and all
water use above that average use, during the highest month affected by the leak, is rebilled at the lowest tier rate
for your water use classication, i.e., residential. If your utility account does not have at least one year of water
consumption history, it may not be possible to review your account for a credit until such time as a “normal use”
history is available. Depending on the type of leak, the period of time it may have affected your bill and the total
amount of credit the City of Tampa is able to provide, you may need more than one month to bring your account to
a current status. If this is the case, please contact the Utilities Call Center at (813) 274-8811, option 2, to make
payment arrangements.
If you have any questions, please call the City of Tampa Utilities Call Center at (813-274-8811), option 3.
I have read and understand the above information.
