Aquarion Water Company

Tenant-Landlord Account Transfers

If you are a landlord, you may retain responsibility for the water bill at your rental property or transfer billing to a tenant. To transfer billing, please ask your tenant to contact us by calling us at the number listed below.

Residential tenants must provide a security deposit of $100. Commercial tenants must pay a deposit that is equal to one and one half (1.5) months’ usage. An initial deposit of $100 will be required, which will be reviewed for adequacy after the first bill. If usage is less than $100 for one and one-half (1.5) months, the deposit will be adjusted and the account will be credited. However, if usage is higher, the tenant may receive a request for an additional deposit.

When an account with a deposit has maintained an excellent credit rating (no late notices or fees) for one year, the deposit plus interest will be credited to the account at that time, or upon final termination of the account with Aquarion.

Aquarion reserves the right to request a deposit on any account at any time. Deposits may be required based solely on the Company’s determination of the customer’s credit history.

Aquarion will not refuse to provide utility service to a residential customer who lacks the financial ability to pay a security deposit as defined under Sec. 16-11-68 Customer Deposits of the Connecticut Agency Regulations of the DPUC.

A tenant in a multi-unit dwelling must have an independent service line to become an Aquarion Water Company of Connecticut customer.

If the tenant fails to pay, the water service may be terminated for non-payment.
When the tenant contacts us upon moving out of the property, we will automatically place the account back in the landlord's name unless instructed by the landlord to shut the service. Please refer to the list of miscellaneous charges under "Water Rates" for turn-on fees.
