Brunswick and Topsham Water District

 Growing District Since 1903

Water service to the building can be shut off by use of your own main valve, normally located immediately before the water meter.  You can also stop the flow of water to a specific fixture within your building.  By way of example, valves are normally located on each of the hot and cold water supply lines to each faucet.  These are normally located under the sink.  By familiarizing yourself with the location and operation of these valves, you may be able to use them in an emergency and avoid a service call charge. 

Fluoride levels must be maintained at 1 -2 parts per million (ppm) for those water systems that fluoridate the water. The average is 1.25 ppm.

Like many water utilities, we measure your usage and bill you in hundreds of cubic feet (HCF).  To convert your usage from HCF to gallons, multiply it by 748.  At typical domestic usage of 60 gallons per person daily, a family of three uses approximately 16,200 gallons of water per quarter or just over 21 HCF.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have no water at a particular fixture, you should check other fixtures to assure that the problem is not within that particular fixture.  You should then check the main valve before the water meter to make sure that it is open.  You should call us to see if we have had to interrupt service for emergency repairs, or to assist you in determining the source of the problem within your building.
