High Corsicana Water Bill: Meter Re-Check and Leak Steps
Most likely cause
The City’s FAQ says the most likely cause of a high bill is a water leak. Running toilets, faucets, shower heads and other water-using devices can waste water quickly.
Electronic meter reads
Corsicana meters are read electronically through a register and transmitter system, although some meters may be read manually due to rain, debris or signal issues.
Meter re-check
Utility Billing can send a field technician to re-check the meter. The FAQ says one free meter re-check is available each calendar year.
Check toilets first
A running toilet can waste thousands of gallons per day. Use dye test or listen for refill cycles when no one is using water.
Inspect faucets, shower heads and appliances
Look for dripping fixtures, water heater leaks, washing machine connections, hose bibs, irrigation, softeners and wet ground near the service line.
Call Utility Billing
Call 903-654-4825 and ask whether a meter re-check, data log, leak adjustment form or licensed plumber is the right next step.
Keep repair proof
Save plumber receipt, photos, repair date, usage pattern and current/previous bill before requesting account review.
Senior Citizen Discount: Age 65+ Residential Customers
Who it applies to
The City FAQ says the senior discount is available for customers age 65 and older, requires annual form completion, and applies only to the primary residential account with a 3/4” meter.
What to bring
Complete the Annual Senior Citizen Discount Request Form and bring it to the Utility Billing office. A representative must verify age with a valid driver’s license or ID card.

Local Corsicana Utility Tips That Save Time
Service orders after 1 p.m. move to next business day
Do not wait until late afternoon when starting, transferring or reconnecting service. The service page says orders initiated after 1 p.m. are processed the following business day.
Make sure every lease/purchase person is on the application
The service requirements sheet says all persons on the lease agreement or purchase papers are required to be on the water application.
Do not leave cash in night drop
The City specifically says not to leave cash in the night drop. Use in-person counter payment for cash.
Check customer-side vs city-side leak
If the issue is between the meter and your residence, or sewer inside your property, you likely need a plumber. City emergency numbers are for city-side water/sewer problems.
