New Accounts / Line Extension
NEW ACCOUNT
Opening a new account is easy; just call our customer service at 800-313-5589. When a request is made for new water service, basic information is taken over the phone. (Name, billing address, service address, phone numbers) A PLRWSD employee will make contact to meet or find out where the meter is wanted to be set on the property. A marker will be placed and the estimated cost will be given. If a new home is being built, a septic permit will be needed from the County Sanitarian. Water User Agreement and additional paperwork is then sent to the customer. When Water User Agreement, survey and payment in full is received, meter will be set normally within 14 days.
The estimated cost for a new water meter installed is
• $1400 plus additional cost per footage for line side (meter on the same side of the road as the main line).
• $1800 plus additional cost per footage for road bore (meter on the opposite side of the road as the main line).
• $1900plus additional cost per footage for state highway bore (meter on the opposite side of the road as the main line and the road is a state highway).
It is recommended that customers install a pressure regulator valve at the point of entry of the customer's service line. PLRWS is not responsible for damages as a result of excess water pressure.
