                Utility Services FAQ's

                How do I start services at my address?

                To start new service for water, sewage and trash, you will need to visit our office to fill out the residential water application, provide our office with a signed copy of closing disclosure/lease agreement/proof of ownership and pay the $100.00 deposit and $15.00 non-refundable administrative fee.

                Can my billing date be changed?

                The city of Live Oak is divided into six set billing zones by address, so we are unable to change billing dates.

                How can I pay my bill?

                Please contact our office for more information on account changes. 210 653-9140 ext. 2007

                How do I request to have my services disconnected?

                Customers who would like to terminate their service must fill out a Termination of Service form and submit it to the Utility Billing Department. This form can be found at https://www.liveoaktx.net/files/documents/Termination-of-Service-2021.pdf or the customer may come in to our office at 8001 Shin Oak Dr. Live Oak, TX Monday-Friday 8:00-5:00 to obtain it. Please supply a forwarding address and specify the turn-off date.

                What happens if my payment is late or I fail to make my payment?

                Payments are due by the date indicated on the billing statement. Failure to pay your account in full will result in a 10% penalty which is assessed on the date listed on the bill. If the balance is not paid by the next billing statement, the account will be subject to a $30.00 non-payment fee and interruption of service. Services will be restored only after the balance is paid in full. For same-day reconnection of service, payment must be made Monday-Friday 8:00-4:00. Payments made on-line after business hours will result in a next-day reconnection.

                Meter Tampering: If services have been disconnected due to non-payment, do not turn your meter back on yourself or you will be charged with meter tampering.

                *Tampering with a meter is a Class A Misdemeanor in Texas and punishable by a fine not to exceed $4000.00, a confinement in jail for a term not to exceed 1 year or both

                What if my check or draft is not honored at the bank?

                If a check or draft is returned unpaid, the customer's account will be charged a $25.00 returned check/draft fee and a letter will be mailed to the customer. The customer must make a payment within 10 business days of the date of the letter for services to not be interrupted

                Bank Draft Account: The account may stay on the draft option after one failed draft attempt. After a second, the account is removed from the bank draft.

                Where does the City water service responsibility end and the customer’s begin?

                The City’s responsibility ends on the back side of the meter connection which is the opposite of the meter valve. After the water goes through the meter it becomes the customer’s water.

                Who do I contact about leaks/problems with my water service?

                Contact the Utility Business Office at 210-653-9140 ext. 2007 during regular business hours.

                Customers are limited to one leak adjustment per year and are required to provide documents regarding leak repair. Leak adjustments must be greater than $10.00.

                I didn’t use any water this month. Why do I still have a bill due?

                Each account has several flat fees that are charged each month regardless of water usage.

                Can I receive my Utility bill electronically?

                Yes! Please call our business office at 210.653.9140 ext. 2007 to receive your bills electronically.

                How is my sewer rate calculated?

                For residential customers, the City of Live Oak bases sewer billing on the average monthly use of water during three complete consecutive billing periods from mid- November to mid-March. During the winter months, residential customers use much less water, which results in lower monthly sewer fees in the following year. During the winter months, residents are encouraged to reduce water usage. New customers who do not have a winter average of water usage will be billed at a flat rate.

                For commercial customers sewer service charges are computed from water usage for all metered connections except irrigation meters.
