What are your hours of operation?

Milcrofton Utility District is open from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.  Our drive up window is open during these hours as well.  For after hours service, please contact (615) 794-5947 and our on call technician will take your call.

How do I sign up for service?

How much is my bill?

Each month we mail out your bill which contains information about usage and charges. Bills are always due by 4:00 PM on the 1st of each month without incurring a late charge. If payment is not received in our office by the 10th of the month, water service will be disconnected.

When should I expect service orders, a disconnect, or my service to begin?

Please remember when signing up for service, that your service will not begin, until the following or future business day.  We conduct service orders such as disconnects and start new customer service the next following business day.  Only in an emergency, such as your pipe burst and you need assistance turning off the water meter, would a service technician be dispatched to your residence the same business day.

My pressure is too high or too low at my home or business.  What should I do?

If your home or business has a pressure regulator, this is often an indication that the pressure regulator in your home/business needs adjustment or is malfunctioning.  Milcrofton is not responsible for water pressure past the water meter.  A licensed plumber is able to assist with pressure inside the home or business.  Milcrofton will send a technician to your location to check the line outside the premises. Please contact us if this is the case.

Please contact Milcrofton via email or phone to have one of our technicians visit your location to adjust the check valve at the water meter for your home or business.
