Shutting Off Water ServiceIf you need to turn off water service at a property, you can call the Customer Accounting Office at 419.627.5893. The City recommends property owners turn off water service if their dwelling is expected to be vacant during the winter months. This will help prevent water lines from freezing and breaking which would lead to costly repairs for the property owner. There is a $30.00 fee that is assessed once the water service is turned back on.  
Automatic Bill Pay (ACH) - Free ServiceThe office also offers customers to sign up for ACH, where the monthly bill amount comes directly out of your bank account at no cost. Complete the ACH form and return it to the Customer Accounting Office to begin this service.
