High Bill, Leak Adjustment or Usage Spike

Check the bill first

  • Separate water, sewer and stormwater charges.
  • Compare this month’s 100 cu. ft. usage to normal.
  • Check whether the property is inside or outside city limits.
  • Check whether meter size/base charge changed.
  • Check whether a payment failed or did not post.

Check common leak sources

  • Running toilet.
  • Leaking faucet or showerhead.
  • Outside hose or hydrant left on.
  • Water heater, softener or humidifier leak.
  • Irrigation, pool, livestock or business usage.

Request bill adjustment

  • Fix the leak first.
  • Use the official Bill Adjustment Request form.
  • Prepare repair date and repair proof.
  • Include account number and service address.
  • Continue paying undisputed/required amounts while review is pending.

Official leak guidance: Vincennes says if you had a leak or additional water usage, fix the leak, fill out the bill-adjustment form, and the utility will review the request.

High-bill script: “My Vincennes Water Utilities bill increased from [normal usage/amount] to [new usage/amount]. I checked [toilet/faucets/outside hose/meter] and repaired [leak] on [date]. Can you tell me whether I should submit the Bill Adjustment Request and what proof is needed?”

Water Quality, Source Water and Common Water Questions

2026 report / PWS

The official site links a 2026 Water Quality Report for Vincennes Water Utilities.

PWS #: 5242014.

Water source

The 2024 water quality report says Vincennes water comes from seven wells about one-half mile southwest of the city and adjacent to the Wabash River.

Treatment

The 2024 report describes treatment as chlorine, fluoride and phosphate for sequestering iron and manganese.

Customer question
Official-style answer
Best action
Why is water cloudy or milky?
Usually air bubbles. Let water sit; it should clear as the air dissipates.
If it does not clear, contact the utility.
Why is water discolored?
Color can come from naturally occurring organic matter, minerals, pipe buildup or flushing/repair activity.
Run faucets until clear and report ongoing discoloration.
What causes spots on dishes?
Spots are caused by hard water minerals left after water evaporates.
Use dishwasher rinse aid or ask about hardness/softener choices.
Should I buy a water softener?
Hardness is an aesthetic issue; softeners may increase sodium content.
People on low-sodium diets should consider that before softening.
Should I buy a home filtration unit?
EPA says home treatment units are rarely needed for health reasons; most are for taste/odor/aesthetic issues.
Maintain filters exactly as manufacturer directs.
Why chlorine taste or smell?
Disinfection protects against harmful bacteria.
Try refrigerating water before drinking to reduce taste/smell.
Why dirt or sand?
Can occur naturally in groundwater or after water line repair.
Report if persistent; regular flushing helps remove sediment.

Stormwater, MS4 and Pollution Reporting

Stormwater vs sewer

Vincennes explains that wastewater from homes goes to the sanitary sewer and treatment plant. Stormwater enters inlets/grates and flows untreated to local water bodies.

MS4 program

Vincennes is an MS4 community and must run a stormwater quality management program under Indiana/EPA stormwater rules.

Stormwater contact

Problem
Why it matters
Action
Oil, paint or chemicals entering storm drain
Storm drains can carry pollutants untreated to waterways.
Report a polluter or call stormwater contact.
Construction runoff
Construction projects may need stormwater pollution prevention controls.
Use stormwater ordinance, SWPPP checklist and city technical documents.
Blocked storm inlet
Blocked inlets can worsen street flooding.
Call sewer/storm line at 812-886-5011.
Pet waste / yard waste in drains
Adds bacteria, nutrients and debris to waterways.
Keep leaves, clippings, trash and pet waste out of gutters/inlets.
