Water/Sewer Application for Abatement

The City of Newburyport Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners will consider a request for abatement from an abnormally high water and sewer bill caused by an accidental water release that cannot reasonably be prevented. The policy will establish an abatement for up to one half of the excess water consumption above normal consumption. 

Requests for an abatement must be received within 30 days of the bill date. Applications received after this 30 day period will not be considered. The form below provides further information on the policy as well as the application itself.
