Water Leak
Beginning June 1, 2023, the City of Loretto offers protection against costly service bills caused by unexpected leaks, up to $1,000 coverage per occurrence. Residential coverage costs the customer $1.00 per month. This program is administered through ServLine.
In the event of a costly water bill caused by high water usage due to a qualifying leak or line break, the City of Loretto’s leak loss protection program covers the costly utility bill once the active cause of the leak has been repaired.
All eligible City of Loretto residential customers are automatically enrolled in our optional expanded Water Leak Loss Protection Program and charges will appear on your utility bill for June services (received in early July.) Multi-unit residential properties, including duplexes, are not eligible for coverage.
Call Servline Customer Service at 1-888-977-7182 to decline protection and accept full responsibility for all excess water charges caused by a leak.
