I have an after-hours water leak, what do I do?

If you have a water (or sewer) EMERGENCY after office hours, please call 534-2223 (which is the Police Department non-emergency number) so a Dewey Public Works employee can be dispatched. Call this number for EMERGENCY sewer back-ups, as well. A licensed plumber may also turn your water service on and off in the event of a water leak. If a citizen turns a City water meter on or off and damages the City's meter, the citizen is subject to a $100 fine added to their water bill, replacement costs of any broken parts, and possibly a ticket from the police.
