There are two (2) options for purchasing water for the purpose of
filling a residential swimming pool:
- The customer may use a bulk water hauler from a list of suppliers approved by the District.
Please contact our office (740-927-0410) for a current list of approved bulk water haulers.
- The customer may make application to the District to utilize a
District Pool Fill Meter, which they will connect to their exterior faucet
to measure the amount of water used to fill their pool.
The customer will be billed for this water with their regular household consumption,
but without the associated sanitary sewer charge.
Meters are available for use ONE time per service address per season.
These meters require a minimum of 1,000 gallons and
are not for routine use for purposes of "topping off" your pool water level.

who are out of their homes for an extended period of time;
for example, while on vacation, during relocation, or due to illness.

Voluntary Termination Request Application must be submitted in advance.
Water service will be turned off at the curb box for the term of the request.
Monthly water and/or sewer charges will be abated
during the period of time service is terminated.
The minimum monthly rate or actual rate based on the meter reading

the customer must provide a copy of the work orders documenting
when the water was turned off and back on, to benefit from the reduction
in their sewer charge and will receive a bill for the Debt Elimination Fee only.
If documentation of the reconnection is not provided within 15 days,
