Frequently Asked Questions

***To report URGENT water leaks after-hours, please call Yamhill Communications Agency (YCOM) Dispatch at (503) 434-6500. YCOM will notify the on-call Public Works employee for a response.

If you have a non-urgent water leak at a single residence and you are not sure where the leak is, you will need to call a leak detection service to help you locate it.  Once the leak is located, a plumber or leak repair service may repair the leak.  If you need your water turned off at the meter, please call City Hall at (503) 852-7575 during regular business hours.  

Once your leak is repaired, bring a copy of the receipt for the repair to the Utility Billing Clerk at City Hall and a credit may be given to the water account.  For further information regarding a credit for a leak, please contact the Utility Billing Clerk at City Hall.  

If water or waste water is gushing everywhere and you need help fast, call Public Works Director Bryan Burnham at 503-434-2175 during business hours.  If City Hall is closed call the county non-emergency dispatch number at 503-434-6500 and they will dispatch a Public Works employee to come help.
