I had a free home assessment and

Read your bill carefully. Check the dates of the billing period. Now, check the date the inspection was performed. If your inspection was performed during or after the billing period indicated on the bill, you will see the full or partial Bay Saver Fee for the
days up to the inspection. If you are being charged the
fee after the inspection date, please call the
Water Efficiency Hotline at (310) 458-8459. |
