When applying for a new account, be prepared to present some form of identification (driver's license, Military ID card, Florida ID card or student ID card) and have a check or cash on hand for payment of deposits and fees.

New water or wastewater customers will receive next-day service if their order is placed prior to 4:30 p.m. If the order is placed after 4:30 p.m., customers will receive service within two days. Same-day service is available for an additional fee if the order is placed prior to 4:30 p.m.

As an ECUA customer, you understand that it is your responsibility to have the residence ready to receive water with all faucets, including washing machines and ice makers, turned off, or that someone should be present when your water service is turned on.

As an ECUA customer, you agree to have the requested service location ready to receive water service.

As an ECUA customer, you agree to hold the ECUA harmless and not responsible for any damages that may occur as a result of water being turned on at the requested service location.

Please contact ECUA Customer Service when you are ready to close your account.

Before you call, be ready to provide a termination date and a forwarding address for your final bill, which will be mailed with the balance due on the account. Once the account has been closed, any deposit left on the account will be applied towards the final bill.

If your final bill had a credit balance of $5.00 or more, a refund check for the amount of the credit will be mailed with your final bill. It is important to remember that accounts with credits less than $5.00 do not generate a final bill and will be refunded by customer request only.

Water rates consist of a minimum monthly charge and a usage charge that applies to all customers having active service.

For additional rate information on different meter sizes, see our Residential Mainland Brochure 2025 2026.

Sewer rates are calculated based on water consumption. The charge for wastewater service to customers is a minimum monthly fee of $17.33 which includes 2,000 gallons of usage (consumption). Monthly consumption in excess of 2,000 gallons is charged at the rate of $9.45 per thousand gallons. Monthly consumption for residential wastewater customers is capped at 15,000 gallons per month.

Your monthly sewer charges are based on the average number of gallons of water you use during the winter months. The first meter reading on or after November 15 of each year will start your averaging period. Sewer averaging will continue through the next three months.

For additional rate information on different meter sizes, please see our Residential Mainland Brochure 2025 2026.
