"As used in this section, the term “excusable defect” shall mean a rupture or leakage of the customer’s underground water lines from the meter to the foundation and/or under the foundation as may be caused by freezing weather, settlement, corrosion, wear or accident. The term does not include or apply to defective or out-of-repair faucets (inside or outside), internal wall plumbing, sprinkler systems, sprinkler heads, sprinkler lines, sprinkler solenoids, swimming pools, auto-fill pool equipment, toilets, toilet flappers and any outdoor fixture/accessory such as an outdoor kitchen." - City of Melissa, Ordinance No. #20-04

Any residential or commercial customer of the City may request an adjustment of any water bill from the City for water usage because of a loss of water due to damage or an identified leak that has been repaired. An application for adjustment must be submitted within thirty (30) days of the repair of the leak. The City will only make an adjustment to the most recent bill affected by the repaired leak; multi-month adjustments will not be made.
