The customer is responsible for leakage in the piping on his/her property on his/her side of the water meter and will be charged for water and/or sewer based on water use as indicated on the meter. This is being defined as that point at which the customer's plumbing connects either directly to the meter box or the customer's shut off valve connects directly to the meter box. The Town does not repair leaks on the customer's side of the water meter. The Town of Black Mountain may allow credit for utility charges resulting from leaks on the customer's side of the meter.
