Our customers told us they want to track their usage, but when money is tight, they don't want to worry about the bill.
WaterSure is here to ease those worries.
We'll cap your metered charges, so if you need to use more water than usual, for reasons that can't be helped, you won't be charged.
Instead, we base your charges on the average charge of a similar home.
WaterSure is available to any qualifying customer.
