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?
High-bill script: “My account [number] at [address] changed from [usual usage] to [new usage]. I checked toilets, irrigation, backflow, hose bibs and meter area. Can you review the read dates, usage and leak-adjustment options?”

Water Quality, Floridan Aquifer, Treatment Plants and Backflow

2025 CCR

The 2025 Annual Drinking-Water Quality Report was published in 2026 and lists PWS 3640286.

Source water

DeLand’s drinking water comes from deep wells drawing groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer.

Treatment system

Water treatment includes chlorination, fluoridation, aeration and corrosion control.

Latest report
2025 Annual Drinking-Water Quality Report published in 2026.
Use the current report before making safety claims.
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.
