Tucson Water Emergency, Leak, Main Break, or After-Hours Help
A water emergency should not be handled like a billing question. Tucson Water lists emergency contact information separately from customer service billing contacts.
-
Identify the problem clearly.
Examples include broken water main, major pipeline leak, no water, pressure issue, or visible water running in the street. -
Give the exact location.
Provide address, cross streets, landmarks, and whether the water is inside, outside, at the meter, or in the roadway. -
Stay safe.
Avoid flooded areas, unstable ground, electrical hazards, traffic, and open utility covers. -
Save the report details.
Write down the date, time, phone number used, and any case or confirmation number. -
Handle billing separately.
If the emergency caused a high bill, contact customer service later about the bill or adjustment process.
