High Bill, Leak Adjustment or Usage Spike
Check the bill first
- Separate water, sewer and stormwater charges.
- Compare this month’s 100 cu. ft. usage to normal.
- Check whether the property is inside or outside city limits.
- Check whether meter size/base charge changed.
- Check whether a payment failed or did not post.
Check common leak sources
- Running toilet.
- Leaking faucet or showerhead.
- Outside hose or hydrant left on.
- Water heater, softener or humidifier leak.
- Irrigation, pool, livestock or business usage.
Request bill adjustment
- Fix the leak first.
- Use the official Bill Adjustment Request form.
- Prepare repair date and repair proof.
- Include account number and service address.
- Continue paying undisputed/required amounts while review is pending.
Official leak guidance: Vincennes says if you had a leak or additional water usage, fix the leak, fill out the bill-adjustment form, and the utility will review the request.
Water Quality, Source Water and Common Water Questions
2026 report / PWS
The official site links a 2026 Water Quality Report for Vincennes Water Utilities.
PWS #: 5242014.
Water source
The 2024 water quality report says Vincennes water comes from seven wells about one-half mile southwest of the city and adjacent to the Wabash River.
Treatment
The 2024 report describes treatment as chlorine, fluoride and phosphate for sequestering iron and manganese.
Customer question |
Official-style answer |
Best action |
|---|---|---|
Why is water cloudy or milky? |
Usually air bubbles. Let water sit; it should clear as the air dissipates. |
If it does not clear, contact the utility. |
Why is water discolored? |
Color can come from naturally occurring organic matter, minerals, pipe buildup or flushing/repair activity. |
Run faucets until clear and report ongoing discoloration. |
What causes spots on dishes? |
Spots are caused by hard water minerals left after water evaporates. |
Use dishwasher rinse aid or ask about hardness/softener choices. |
Should I buy a water softener? |
Hardness is an aesthetic issue; softeners may increase sodium content. |
People on low-sodium diets should consider that before softening. |
Should I buy a home filtration unit? |
EPA says home treatment units are rarely needed for health reasons; most are for taste/odor/aesthetic issues. |
Maintain filters exactly as manufacturer directs. |
Why chlorine taste or smell? |
Disinfection protects against harmful bacteria. |
Try refrigerating water before drinking to reduce taste/smell. |
Why dirt or sand? |
Can occur naturally in groundwater or after water line repair. |
Report if persistent; regular flushing helps remove sediment. |
Stormwater, MS4 and Pollution Reporting
Stormwater vs sewer
Vincennes explains that wastewater from homes goes to the sanitary sewer and treatment plant. Stormwater enters inlets/grates and flows untreated to local water bodies.
MS4 program
Vincennes is an MS4 community and must run a stormwater quality management program under Indiana/EPA stormwater rules.

Action |
|---|---|---|
Oil, paint or chemicals entering storm drain |
