In general it is not advisable to terminate water service unless the service has no requirements for even small amounts of water, such as ice makers. Most home owners leave the water connected while a home is on the market even if it is un-occupied. Sprinkler systems, and homes that are for sale and open to the public for viewing, require some water. A vacant lot that has existing water service may possibly be an example of when it would be advisable to request termination of service until such time as water service is required.

Subscribers should be aware that the district does not provide an option for voluntary termination of Wastewater Service. Wastewater service is only terminated in the event of a rule, ordinance, or safety violation. Additionally, any involuntary termination of service by the district requires notification of the Smith County Health Department and Upper Neches Lake Authority.

If you wish to terminate water service, please review the "Rates and Fees" section of this webpage before you make a request. There are cost associated with termination and  reinstatement service.
