Get online and be in the know
Arlington Water Utilities wants to keep residents informed about
their water service. A new email system notifies customers with
active email accounts on file when an emergency or planned service
interruption is happening in their neighborhood.
Later this year, we’ll also be introducing new features that will help
many customers keep track of their daily water usage online. Water
customers who have registered to view their bills online will be able to
immediately take advantage of these new services.
