-The City of Janesville strives to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water.  Water is purchased from Iowa Regional Utilities Association and is a "Clean" water meaning it is softened and has no nitrates due to reverse osmosis.

​

-Water meters are read the first two working days of each month.  Bills are mailed on or about the 15th of each month and are due by the 5th of the following month.  See the City Hall Page for more information regarding Water/Utility payments.

​

-High consumption can be attributed to excessive watering, showering, filling pools, leaks, etc. To check for leaks in your toilet, you can place food coloring in the top and if found in the stool, that indicates a leak. Water meters are typically located in the basement. If a leak is suspected, residents can also check the meter to see if numbers are moving quicker than normal.

​

-During the winter months, city residents and businesses should be aware of the possibility of their water service lines freezing.  Water in service lines below 40 degrees may freeze. Check the temperature of water from your cold-water faucet after letting it run for a few minutes.  If it is below 40 degrees you should consider letting your water run at a steady stream about the size of a pencil.  This should help keep your pipes from freezing, but WILL increase your water bill as well as your sewer bill.  Home owners are responsible for the increased fees.

​

-If replacing an aged service line or building a new house, you must fill out an Application to connect to Public Water System Form.
