High Kingman Water Bill: Desert Leak and Usage Checklist

Turn off all water inside and outside, then check whether the meter still moves. Movement can indicate a leak.
Toilet dye test
Put food coloring in the tank. If color appears in the bowl without flushing, the toilet is leaking.
Outdoor use
Kingman’s desert climate makes irrigation, hose bibs, pool fill and drip systems common high-usage suspects.
Bill review
Ask Utility Billing whether the read was actual, estimated, corrected, seasonal, or tied to water/sewer/sanitation charges.

Rates and fees can change. Use your current bill, adopted City fee schedule, utility regulations and Utility Billing staff for live charges, deposits, penalties and reconnection amounts.
Bill / rule item |
What it means |
User action |
|---|---|---|
Water |
Drinking-water service from Kingman Municipal Water or another provider if outside City system. |
Check usage, meter read and service address. |
Sewer |
Wastewater/sewer service may appear with water and sanitation on one monthly utility bill. |
Ask whether sewer is fixed, usage-based or adjusted by class/rate schedule. |
Sanitation |
Trash/sanitation may be included on the same utility bill. |
Separate sanitation increase from water-usage increase before disputing. |

Before Digging, New Connection or Provider Confusion
Call Arizona 811
Before digging for fences, landscaping, pools, trenching, water lines, sewer laterals or irrigation work, contact Arizona 811 so underground utilities can be marked.
Confirm service area
A Kingman mailing address does not always mean City of Kingman water. Use your bill, ADEQ system name and Utility Billing to confirm the correct provider.
Private vs City side
Leaks after the meter or inside the property may be customer-side plumbing. Leaks at mains, valves, hydrants or City-owned lines should be reported to City utility routing.
