High Bill, Meter Read, Leak Adjustment or Service-Line Question
Radio-read meters
Meters are read by radio signal and usually do not require staff to enter the property.
Read cycle
Meters are read about every 30 days, but timing can vary for weather, holidays or unusual conditions.
Gallons rounded
For billing, readings are rounded down and billed in whole thousands of gallons.
Sewer follows water
Sewer charges are based on water consumption.
High-bill cause |
Fast check |
What to ask DeLand |
|---|---|---|
Toilet leak | Listen for running toilet, use dye test, compare overnight usage. | Does the usage pattern look continuous? |
Irrigation use | Check sprinkler days, run times and seasonal restrictions. | Did irrigation push water into higher residential tiers? |
Sewer line follows water usage | Review water gallons because sewer charges use water consumption. | Is my sewer charge capped or calculated from all usage? |
Longer billing cycle | Check read dates; dates may vary due to holidays, weekends, severe weather or unusual conditions. | How many days were in this bill cycle? |
Meter reading concern | Check account history and current meter if safe/allowed. | Was the reading actual, corrected or affected by field issue? |
Private leak | Check service line, hose bibs, water heater, toilets, irrigation valves, softeners. | Which leak-adjustment form and proof are accepted? |
Backflow device issue | Look for dripping or failed residential backflow device. | Should I call backflow at 386-626-7172? |
Unauthorized use | Inspect hose bibs and meter area. | Was there usage while property was vacant? |

Water Quality Hotline | 386-626-7254, Monday-Friday 7 AM-4 PM. | Call for report questions, taste/odor issues or water-quality concerns. |
Source water | Groundwater from wells drawing from the Floridan Aquifer. | Use CCR and source-water sections for aquifer explanation. |
System scale | Utility statistical page lists about 99-square-mile service area, 10 water plants, 20 major wells, 24,813 water accounts and 379 miles of water mains as of November 2023. | Use for system context, not individual billing. |
Water plant storage | City pages describe multiple water plants and storage tanks, including Victoria Park and Fair Grounds storage facilities. | Useful for pressure/storage context after outages. |
Lead in plumbing | CCR explains lead can come from household plumbing and recommends flushing tap after water sits several hours. | Flush 30 seconds to 2 minutes before drinking/cooking if concerned. |
Backflow prevention | Backflow prevents non-potable water from reversing into potable water supply. | Install/maintain approved devices and call 386-626-7172 for residential backflow issues. |
Reclaimed water | Reclaimed water is highly treated and disinfected wastewater, useful for irrigation but not for human/animal consumption. | Do not drink reclaimed water or connect it to potable plumbing. |
Local Notes: DeLand, Garbage, Stormwater, Reclaimed Water and Sewer
Local issue |
Why it matters |
Best step |
|---|---|---|
City utility bill | Utility Billing collects water, sewer, stormwater and garbage charges. | Check each line before disputing the total. |
Garbage inside City limits | Garbage collection services appear on monthly utility bill for city-limit customers. | Use solid-waste route for cart/pickup problems, billing route for charge questions. |
Stormwater | Stormwater fees maintain/improve public stormwater facilities and are based on impervious-area fee structure. | Do not treat stormwater as water-gallon usage. |
Rented/leased properties | Stormwater fees may be billed annually to the property owner instead of monthly tenant account. | Landlord/owner should check annual billing. |
Reclaimed irrigation | Can lower potable water demand and may reduce freshwater irrigation needs after connection. | Check reclaimed availability and connection fee before installing irrigation system. |
Flushable wipes | City links “The Truth About Flushable Wipes” because wipes cause wastewater system problems. | Do not flush wipes, paper towels or hygiene products. |
Volusia / DeLand provider check | Some nearby addresses may use different utility providers. | Provider name on bill controls where to pay. |
Utility locates | Water/sewer/reclaim lines can be damaged by digging. | Use Sunshine 811 before digging or fence/irrigation work. |
