Livonia Water Bill Higher Than Normal? Check These First

| Compare billing cycle | Check whether you are monthly or quarterly and whether the bill covers unusual seasonal use. | Quarterly bills can hide a leak or irrigation spike until later. |
| Look for leaks | Check toilets, faucets, water softeners, humidifiers, outside hose bibs and sprinkler systems. | Small leaks can run continuously and add up fast. |
| Review meter estimate/read issue | If the bill is estimated or you had no access/read issue, call Billing. | The FAQ includes estimated meter and no-consumption appointment issues. |
| Request help | Call Water & Sewer Billing at 734-466-2278. | Billing can explain the account, schedule and next step. |
| Payment difficulty | Review WRAP, LIHWAP, MIHAF and Water & Sewer Board extra-time form routes. | The FAQ points customers to assistance and extra-time options. |
