In October, City of Coppell water utility customers will begin seeing their water meters replaced as part of the City's Advanced Water Meter System project, a new service enhancement initiative to install advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) throughout the community. The city-wide installation of 13,375 new meters is projected to take 14 months and will impact every home and business in the community.

FAQ's

Why did my water bill increase?
When will my meter be replaced?
How will a resident/business know someone is a member of the water meter team?
Will the water meter team need access to my home?
What will my property look like after the meter has been installed?
Is there anything the resident/business needs to do after their water meter has been replaced?
How does the new meter benefit me?
Why is the City replacing my water meter (or why is the City replacing all the water meters)?
Will I still be able to open the meter box with a standard meter key in order to turn the water off in an emergency?
In older houses that don't already have a check valve, will a check valve be installed along with the new meter?   
Do you have any info on if/when smart gas meters are coming?

Why did my water bill increase?
During the project planning, a random test of sixty-three residential meters, conducted by a third party, revealed that the current meters are registering, on average, about 90% of the water actually used. The test also found that of the sixty-three meters, five meters, or 8% of the meters tested, were registering no usage. Since that testing, the City has found that on average, at any given time, there are approximately 700 meters, or 5% of the system's meters, are not registering usage. 

With the more accurate meters, it is very possible that members of the community will receive bills that are higher than statements for a corresponding month in a previous year. It is highly likely that comparing consumption history of the old meter to the new meter will be significantly different for many customers because their meter was not registering all of their water usage. For some, it is possible their meter has not been registering any usage. In both instances, customers can expect to receive a larger bill than they did previously.

When will my meter be replaced?
Currently, the City is working with the installation team and project manager to establish the replacement timing of each area of town. Each customer will receive a letter in the mail providing information concerning when the water meter team will be installing in their area. Additionally, the City will call, email and text residents who have signed up for NotifyCoppell to inform residents when the water meter team will be in your neighborhood.

How will a resident/business know someone is a member of the water meter team?
The truck used by the water meter team will have a "water meter team" sticker on its door. Team members will be wearing bright yellow shirts with "PMI" on the front left corner of the shirt and will also have a picture ID badge with them. The badge also provides two phone numbers for the citizen to call to confirm the identity of the person. One phone number will contact the Utility Billing number, and the other number connects to the PMI 24-hour line. Water meter team supervisors will be wearing a bright yellow safety vest with "Water Meter Team Supervisor" printed on the back of the vest.

Will the water meter team need access to my home?
No, no one will need to enter your home. In fact, water team members are not allowed to enter homes.

What will my property look like after the meter has been installed?
The property will be left in the same condition as it was prior to installation. 

Is there anything the resident/business needs to do after their water meter has been replaced?
Residents will find a yellow door hanger on their door notifying them that they received a new water meter. The door hanger provides information concerning steps to take prior to using their water.

If you run a business, the water meter team will coordinate a convenient time to replace each businesses water meter. Each business will be provided with a door hanger when their meter is replaced.

How does the new meter benefit me?
Soon after the meters are installed, customers will have access to an internet-based customer dashboard that can be accessed from a computer, tablet or smartphone. The dashboard or customer portal will provide residents and businesses with access to usage data from their new meters. Residents and businesses will be able to more closely monitor their water consumption and adjust their usage accordingly. In addition, a leak alert can be set that notifies the account holder if the system is detecting a leak at their home or business. The customer can also setup usage alerts which will generate an email when the account registers the usage established by the account holder. In short, customers will be given the tools and data they need to better plan and "Get to Know Your H20".

Why is the City replacing my water meter (or why is the City replacing all the water meters)?
Currently, the City uses three types of metering systems and multiple meter brands that range in age from three years to over 10 years. This variability poses operational challenges for City staff. The Advanced Meter System project will include one type of system and one brand for all meters, which will better equip City staff to maintain operations, manage inventory, and provide all customers with the same level of customer service.

Will I still be able to open the meter box with a standard meter key in order to turn the water off in an emergency?
Yes, a standard meter key will open the lid.

In older houses that don't already have a check valve, will a check valve be installed along with the new meter?
No.

Do you have any info on if/when smart gas meters are coming? 
Currently, it is unknown.

If you have questions or concerns, please call 972-304-3695.

If you are experiencing issues after the new meter

installation and need assistance, please call 877-853-2923 (toll-free).

PRIVATE WATER LINE REPAIRS​

SEWER PROBLEMS

You may experience sluggish drains in your home or business occasionally. You may also notice an overflow near the property line coming from your city cleanout. This could be caused by a blockage in the sewer line, or it may be the result of tree roots that have grown into the sewer line.

If you experience any of these problems, notify the Utility Operations Division of Public Works by calling (972)462-5150 Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 am and 4:30 pm. For emergency situations after normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, call (972)462-5150.  The phone system will immediately page the on-call technician who should return your call within an appropriate amount of time to get the necessary information regarding the problem. You will be asked to leave your name, phone number, and address so the technician can return your call. You may also call Coppell Police Dispatch at (972)304-3610.

Sewer overflows and backups can cause health hazards, damage to home interiors, and threats to the environment. One of the most common causes of sewer overflows is blockage by grease. Grease gets into the sewer system from household drains and poorly maintained grease traps in restaurants and other businesses. The easiest way to prevent the problem is to keep grease out of the sewer system by following these simple suggestions:

• Never pour grease down sink drains or into toilets.
  
• Scrape grease and food scraps from trays, dishes, pots, pans, utensils and cooking surfaces into a can or into the trash.
  
• Don't rinse off oil and grease with hot water.
  
• Do not put grease down garbage disposals. Put baskets or strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids, and empty the drain baskets/strainers into the trash.
  
• Be cautious of chemicals and additives that claim to dissolve grease. Some of these additives simply pass grease down the pipes where it can clog the sewer line in another area.​
  
• Talk to your friends and neighbors about the grease problem in the sewer system and how to keep it out.
  
• Call the Utility Operations office at (972)462-5150 for more information.

​DIVISION STAFF

​​

​The Utility B​illing department maintains normal business hours of 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Customers may bring in payments during that time;​ outside of the normal hours, customers may mail payments, drop payments in the drive-thru drop box located at Town Center, or pay online.​​​​

​   ​​

PRIVACY NOTICE & F.a.q.s

​Information in your City of Coppell Utilities Department customer account record is generally considered public information under Texas Government Code, Chapter 552 (Public Information Act). However, the Texas Utilities Code, Chapter 182 (Rights of Utilities Customers), provides that a government-operated utility may not disclose personal information, or any information relating to the volume or units of utility usage or the amounts billed to or collected from a customer for utility usage, if the customer requests that the government-operated entity keep the information confidential. If you would like to request that certain information be kept confidential, under Texas Utilities Code, Chapter 182, please complete our online form​.

Why did the City send out the "Request for Confidentiality of Information Maintained by the City of Coppell Utility Department" form?​

The "Request for Confidentiality of Information Maintained by the City of Coppell Utility Department" form was sent to inform all Coppell utility customers concerning the release of information pursuant to the Public Information Act and provide our customers with a method for keeping their information confidential.

Does the City release the social security numbers of its utility customers?

No. While the Texas Public Information Act specifically allows Governmental Utilities to release addresses, telephone numbers, and account information, the state and federal laws specifically prohibit the release of anyone's social security numbers. Completion of the Privacy form provides additional support to the City to withhold account information from public disclosures.

Do I have to pay a fee to keep my information confidential?

No, the City does not charge for this service and has no plans to charge for this service. In the event it was determined that there was a cost to provide this service, staff would be required to bring an agenda item to Council for their consideration and approval. Again, this is a free service, and there is no plan to charge to keep your information confidential.

How do I elect to keep certain information confidential?

Please complete our online form. If you encounter any issues, please contact Utility Billing at 972-304-3695.​

Service Disruption

If your water service has been suddenly interrupted and you do not know the cause, please call the Utility Billing department at 972-304-3695. When water service has been discontinued for non-payment of a bill, the full amount of the bill plus a $20 reconnection fee must be paid before service is reinstated. Customers should contact the Utility Operations department to report water leaks, sewer back-ups, or water quality problems at 972-462-5150.

​water, Sewer, & Garbage Rates

The City of Coppell bases its water rates on meter sizes and employees a seasonal water rate structure to encourage conservation. Seniors and disabled persons are eligible for a discount on residential water, sewer, and garbage rates, with required documentation. For the specific rates and frequently asked questions, please visit our Rates webpage​.

SERVICE Set Up & Changes

The City of Coppell uses an online form to set up new residential utility accounts.  Please review the Service Agreement​.  Contact the Utility Billing department to transfer or cancel service or to set up commercial acco​unts.  Please use the online form​​ to make changes to your payment or contact information. Rental properties must be registered and inspected prior to a new tenant moving in and setting up a utility account. Visit Building Inspections​ for fees and scheduling. ​

Commercial​ customers will not be able to utilize the online form​.  Please c​omplete the Service Application and Service Agreement and return them to the Utility Billing Department either via email at H2OBills@coppelltx.gov or fax at 972-304-7091.

Paying Your Bill

Customers are billed monthly for water, sewer, and garbage services.  Payment is due no later than twenty days from the billing dates. After the 20th day, a 10% penalty will be assessed on the balance. If payment still has not been received within approximately 10 days after the penalty date, your service will be disconnected. Additionally, there will be a $20 reconnect fee to have your service reinstated. To avoid service being disconnected and being assessed the reconnect fee, customers unable to pay their bill in full by the due date should contact our office to make payment arrangements. Payment arrangements are done on a case-by-case basis. Customers may complete and sign a payment arrangement agreement in person or via fax.

​Electronic Bank Drafting Service

Customers may elect to have an automatic electronic bank draft occur for monthly water bill payments. Customers selecting this option will receive a monthly bill stating "Amount Due will be Bank Drafted - DO NOT PAY." Your bank will deduct the water bill amount approximately two to three business days prior to the due date printed on your bill. There is no charge for this bank draft plan and the draft option may be discontinued at any time by simply notifying the City in writing. At this time, please note that participating in the Voluntary Donations is not possible through the electronic bank drafting service.

Voluntary Donations

The City of Coppell has discontinued a voluntary donation program that was payable with the​ monthly water bill. Individuals and businesses wishing to donate to the City will need to contact the department responsible for the program they would like to assist​.
