Arlington customers must repair detected service-line leaks within 72 hours of notification or face escalated water-conservation enforcement. The city offers leak-adjustment credits for first-time qualifying repairs and provides free leak-detection consultations through Water Utilities.
Arlington Water Utilities monitors customer accounts for unusual consumption indicating leaks. When a leak is detected on the customer side of the meter, Water Utilities issues notice requiring repair within 72 hours. Customers can request a one-time leak-adjustment credit per twelve-month period if the leak was hidden, repair receipts are submitted, and consumption returns to baseline. Visible irrigation leaks during the twice-weekly watering schedule receive higher enforcement priority because of evaporation waste. Arlington also enforces TCEQ rules requiring loss reporting on the city water-loss audit submitted annually to the state. Major-main breaks trigger localized boil-water notices coordinated with Tarrant County Public Health.
Failure to repair a notified leak within 72 hours results in service termination plus reconnect fees of 100 dollars and potential conservation-violation citations up to 500 dollars per occurrence.
