Mount Holly's Field Operations is responsible for the maintenance, installation and repair of public water distribution and public sewer line systems. The City of Mount Holly is also responsible for the installation and maintenance of water or sewer laterals which extend from the public lines to the water meter or sewer cleanout. Residents own and maintain the water or sewer lateral starting at the water meter or sewer cleanout to the home.
The water backflow cross connection control program is administered by the Utilities Department.
Home and business water flow meters are read on a monthly basis. Please review the City's Schedule of Fees for current water or sewer rates and other fees associated with water and sewer services.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my water bill higher than normal?
Increase in water usage - If your usage is the same as normal, check for leaking toilets, sinks, or pipes. Be sure to check pipes under cabinets, crawl spaces, and look for moist areas within your yard. Please note that if the leak occurs anywhere between the water meter and the home, the property owner is responsible for repairs. The city will make repairs on pipes from the street to the water meter.
