Tenant Guarantees
Any property owner in the Town of Kingsville that is in good standing with their accounts can "guarantee" the water account for a tenant. By signing a Tenant Guarantee Form the guarantor assumes responsibility for the payment of the tenant's account if they default. This eliminates the need for the tenant to provide a deposit.
Moving In?
To set up a water account, please contact our office to provide some basic information.
With this information, we will set up your new account and arrange for an initial reading of the water meter at your property.
The normal billing cycle is every three months; however, depending on when you move in or take possession of your home, your first bill may arrive sooner. Please be aware that a $25 account setup fee will be added to your first water bill.
Moving Out?
Please call our office 48 hours in advance to schedule a final meter reading and provide us with an address where we can send your final bill. Remember, you are responsible for consumption until final readings have been completed.
High water bill? Check for leaks!
The average household uses 40-70 m3 of water during a 3-month billing period. If your water consumption is much higher, you may have a leak.
The most common causes of high water bills are:
- running toilets
- sprinkler systems
- water powered back-up sump pumps
- leaky faucets
Water Quality
All municipal water is provided by the Union Water Supply System. Please refer to their Water Quality Reports for information on the quality of your drinking water.
