Why Your Frisco Sewer Charge May Not Match Current Water Use
Winter average
Frisco does not meter sewer service separately. Sewer is calculated using average water consumption during winter months, recalculated each April.
Sewer FAQSewer higher than water?
Because sewer is based on winter usage, your sewer charge can be higher than the current water charge if current water use is lower.
Read explanationPool fill or leak in winter
If you filled a pool or had a leak during winter months, it can affect the sewer rate. Report pool fillings or repaired leaks to Utility Billing at 972-292-5575.
Call Utility BillingFrisco Partial Leak Credit: What Qualifies and What Does Not
Frisco offers partial leak credit as a courtesy for billed water consumption, not as a full dollar refund. The customer-side leak is still the property owner or tenant’s repair responsibility.
| Requirement | Official rule | Practical user move | Official action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repair timing | Repair must occur within 90 days of leak detection. | Do not delay repair while waiting for the next bill. | Leak credit page |
| Request timing | Submit the request within 90 days of the repair. | File the form soon after the repair invoice is ready. | Submit request |
| Proof needed | Repair invoice or receipt for parts is required. | Save plumber invoice, photos, date found and date fixed. | Proof rules |
| Credit frequency | One credit every 12 consecutive months. | Use it carefully for the biggest qualifying leak. | Credit process |
| Monthly payments | Continue regular monthly payments; failure to maintain payments can forfeit eligibility and put service at risk. | Do not stop paying while waiting for the credit. | Read warning |
| Processing time | Allow 4–6 weeks for processing. | Expect the approved credit on a later billing statement. | Process timeline |
