Helpful Information for Water & Sewer Customers
From understanding an unusually high water bill to finding simple ways to conserve water, the resources below can help Pequot Lakes utility customers better understand and manage their water use.
💧 High Water Usage?
Has your utility bill increased unexpectedly? Higher-than-normal water usage can be caused by leaking toilets, dripping faucets, irrigation, water softeners, plumbing leaks, or changes in everyday water use.
Our High Water Usage Guide can help you identify common causes and determine what to check around your home or business.
What to Do if Your Utility Bill Shows High Usage
If you can't identify the cause of increased usage, contact City Hall at 218-568-5222 for assistance.
🌱 Water Conservation
Small changes in everyday water use can add up. Conserving water helps protect our groundwater resources, reduces unnecessary utility costs, and supports the long-term sustainability of our community's water supply.
