Note: If you are a 3rd party (i.e. title company or family relative) and have requested to start/stop service, you do not need to submit an Authorization to Release Information form. If you simply wish to receive the final bill copy and account information as usual, you will receive that information as soon as we have processed your start/stop request and issued the final bill. |
A few important things to keep in mind when submitting your request:
- WSSC Water asks that you submit requests to start/stop service within 10 business days of move in/out to allow us time to obtain your meter reading if necessary.
- Transfer Service: In order to end service at one property and begin service at another property, you must fill out both the start service and stop service forms.
- If you are starting service and the water at the property is currently off, please note this in the special instructions section of the webform and also complete the required Release of Liability (ROL) form: ROL (English); ROL (Español). The completed ROL can be e-mailed to customerservice@wsscwater.com
- WSSC Water accounts are assigned to the property owner, not individual occupants. Tenants are added to the property owner's account and receive secondary bills. In accordance with State law, property owners are ultimately responsible for payment of all water and sewer bills, including any bills left unpaid by a tenant.
