Start Service

My water has been turned off at the meter. Can I turn it back on myself?

Please do not turn a meter back on. Meters are Prince William Water property, and tampering with them is prohibited. 

When the water is turned on, a Prince William Water technician must get an accurate meter reading to establish the baseline for future billing.

I am a tenant requesting new service. Why do I have to provide owner information and why must an Owner Authorization Form be completed by the owner?

The Virginia Code requires that property owners are notified when tenants begin water service at their property.  The Code also requires that the owner give written permission for tenants to have water service at their property, and an Owner Authorization Form meets this requirement.
