We need your help to maintain our water system - 


  • To protect your pipes from freezing, allow the faucet furthest from your water meter to drip steadily. Do not turn all your faucets on, and do not turn them on all the way.
  • If you have a leak, please call the City of Victoria at 485-3381 and we will turn your water off at the meter, no charge. Once you have fixed your leak, call the city back to turn on the meter.
