Contract AwardUtilitiesDetected Jul 6, 2026

On July 6 Goddard is amending its new Water Leak Utility Billing Adjustment Policy to allow both exterior and interior hidden leaks to qualify for partial bill relief, keeping the existing $1,000 cap and other limits. The policy formalizes how the City calculates adjustments, requires licensed plumber verification, and sets a defined application and review process. This signals that the utility is refining its customer programs and may need communication tools, forms, and data support to administer leak adjustments.

Policy requires hidden, repaired, and significant leaks with usage at least 100% above historical average and an adjustment over $200.
