When should you call instead of using the form?
Call (385) 399-8666 when the notice is due within 3 business days, the property has multiple assemblies, water is actively flowing from a damaged body, or a facility shutdown needs coordination. For an uncontrolled leak, shutoff questions belong with the water utility or an appropriately qualified plumbing professional; do not wait for a web reply while water is causing damage.
The form is a good fit when you can attach the facts in writing, compare a routine annual-testing date, or request a repair or replacement quote without an active leak. It also creates a clean record of the city, device, due date, and contact person.
What response hours can you expect?
We do not publish a guaranteed answer window, same-day promise, or 24/7 emergency claim. Call during normal weekday working hours when possible. If the line is not answered, leave 1 voicemail with your name, callback number, city, and due date, or send the form once. Repeated messages do not create a faster certified-tester opening.
Appointment timing comes from the state-certified tester after the property, district, device count, and access are clear. A routine residential test often takes 20–40 minutes on site, but that is visit duration—not a promise that an appointment is available within 20–40 minutes.
What information should stay out of the form?
Do not send a full water-account number, payment-card data, gate code, alarm code, medical information, tenant records, or a photo that exposes unrelated personal mail. A city name, due date, ZIP, device photo, and a short access description are usually enough for initial scheduling. Share restricted access details directly with the confirmed service provider closer to the appointment.
If a notice contains a barcode, account number, or personal identifier, crop or cover it before sharing a photo. The visible header, city or district, service address, device number when applicable, and deadline usually provide the useful routing information.
