Water Theft

Picture
Under normal circumstances, anyone consuming water from East Monroe Water Corporation must first obtain a membership and then may only "tap" the water distribution system by means of a company installed/owned billing meter. Official fire fighting departments are permitted to access our fire/flush hydrants in emergency situations only. We will also permit construction companies and other persons to temporarily obtain water from our fire/flush hydrants after receiving permission and by using an EMWC metering device.
Water theft can be a very serious problem. Not only does it cost you, our members, higher rates to pay for the theft, but is also a potential source of contamination. Illegal water taps and unauthorized hydrant use may result in bacterial contamination of the water distribution system, which could result in illness and loss of service to our members. Please be on the lookout for any suspicious behavior involving our equipment and notify our office immediately. Of particular concern is the practice of unscrupulous water sales companies that fill their tank trucks from our hydrants. We know that it happens, but it is very difficult to identify and prosecute the perpetrators.
