How water accounts work

Water meters

New accounts are set up with a water meter. Accounts being moved from one address to another will be set up with a water meter even if the previous account was on a flat rate.

If you do not have a water meter you may be required to have one installed. Both the water meter and installation are free of charge.

Account access

Only the person whose name is on the account can make account changes and inquiries. No changes can be made on behalf of another person or business.

You may add someone (i.e., a roommate, a spouse, business partner, etc.) to your account. Once the name is on the account that person may make inquiries.

It is beneficial if the person you add to your account is also the person you would like to have listed as an alternate contact, to be contacted if an urgent situation or emergency should occur.

Deposits

Residential customers who have not had an account with The City of Calgary for 12 months or whose payment record is not satisfactory may be required to provide a deposit. 

Commercial customers who have not had an account for 24 months or more may be required to provide a deposit.
