High Compton Utility Bill Checklist

A Compton utility bill can include water, sewer and trash, so a higher amount is not always caused by water usage alone. Separate the line items first, then check for leaks, usage changes or billing issues.

Have this ready when calling Utility Billing

• Utility account number and service address.
• Current bill and previous bill.
• Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
• Details about water, sewer and trash line items.
• Any leak repair receipt, plumber invoice or photos.
• Notes about irrigation, guests, tenants, outdoor water use or recent move-in changes.

Water Conservation, Broken Sprinklers and Excess Water Use in Compton

The City of Compton has a dedicated water conservation contact for conservation questions, broken sprinklers and reports of excess water use. This is useful if the issue is not a billing dispute but a visible water-waste problem.

• Report broken sprinklers when they are wasting water.
• Ask conservation questions before making large irrigation or landscaping changes.
• Check bathrooms, fixtures and appliances because upgrades can reduce household water use.
• Do not use conservation contact for billing payment questions; use 310-605-5524 for billing.
