Move-in/Connect or Transfer Utility Service
You can activate and transfer utility services by calling 1-254-547-8718 for more information.

The City of Copperas Cove provides water, sewer, drainage and solid waste services. For more information regarding request for service, please call 1-254-547-8718

To establish your utility services we require the following documentation be emailed to utilities@copperascovetx.gov referencing your name and service address.
A). A Complete Move-In Application
B). A valid government issued photo ID.
C). Proof of ownership or lease of the property.
D). Applicants must be submitted by the responsible party verified through their photo ID and the property documentation. Parents, siblings or any other interested party cannot activate service on behalf of another person unless they have a valid POWER OF ATTORNEY (POA) in addition to documents listed in Section B. for both the attorney in fact and the account holder.

All move-in/connections requires a deposit based on the services provided. The amount of your deposit is determined by your account classification and water meter size.

All transfers have a $25.00 service charge that is billed on the last bill of the old address. You may have your utility service connected at both residences; however, you will be responsible for payment on both accounts.

Property owners and managers are eligible to participate in the Blanket Deposit program. Contact Utility Administration at 1-254-547-8718 for more information.

If the water service is currently off, it is the responsibility of the resident to make sure that all water sources inside or outside of the home are off at the time the water is turned on. If the water meter shows that a water source is on, it will be turned off to avoid any flooding.

The City of Copperas Cove is not responsible for any damages caused by flooding due to the negligence of the resident.

Move-out/Disconnect Account
You can disconnect your utility service due to move-out utilizing an online request here or call 1-254-547-8718 for more information.

Water meters are read digitally. Each cycle has 15 days from the Billing Date printed on the bill to pay the Total Due. If payment is not received before 8:00 a.m. on the 16th day a 5% penalty will be assessed. This 5%, which does not exceed $5.00, is included in the Total Due presented on your bill.

Each cycle has 25 days from the Billing Date to pay the Total Due by the second due date including the 5% penalty. If payment is not received before 8:00 a.m. on the 26th day, a late charge of $25.00 is assessed and the account is subject to disconnection.
