Ways to pay less

  • Water leak protection is on your LCUB bill unless you decline it. All LCUB water customers are automatically enrolled in ServLine's leak loss protection, $2.95 a month for a home, which covers up to $2,500 per occurrence of a high water bill caused by a leak once the leak is repaired. How: Call ServLine at (865) 271-1187 to decline; you then pay all excess water charges caused by a leak.
