Most of the services available to members have a fee involved. The amounts of the various fees can be seen here. Contact the MMWC Office during business hours to arrange for any services. In some cases, several days' notice is required before services can be performed.
Emergencies - If there is an emergency of any kind with your water system, call the MMWC Office. During non-business hours leave a voice message; you will be contacted within a couple of hours.
Transfer of Membership
Memberships in MMWC are automatically transferred with sale of the lot. If you are not the original owner of a CCME lot, the membership was automatically transferred to you when you purchased the property, unless the membership associated with the lot was previously forfeited for non-payment.
Ownership transfer fees: a fee will be charged to transfer account ownership of all properties (see Rates and Charges). In the event the transfer fee is not addressed at property settlement the fee will be applied to the new owner’s first invoice.
It is difficult for MMWC to keep track of the memberships when a lot is sold. Should you sell your lot, please notify MMWC. If you have sold your lot and are still receiving bills and notices from MMWC, please notify MMWC at once so that the bills and notices can be sent to the proper party.
Voluntary Turn-On / Turn-Off
Members may have their water service shut off (for instance, when the home is not occupied during winter months) and turned on later. Notify the Office with the date that water is to be turned on / off.
Cistern Cleaning
MMWC recommends that you clean your cistern periodically. MMWC can recommend professionals for this service. Cleanings are normally done during late spring and summer. Please contact the MMWC office for more details.
Maintenance Repair Work
Repairs to a member’s water system may be available. These can consist of replacement of the shut-off valve, cistern leaks, or breaks in the water line to the home. Work is performed on a time and material basis. If an estimate is desired, this can be provided to the extent the repair work can be identified completely at the time.
Water Delivery by Truck
If an owner experiences problems with his water system that leaves him without water, then MMWC can provide water delivered by truck to the cistern. Some restrictions apply, but this service is available when truck delivery is the only source of water for temporary inconveniences.
Bacterial Water Potability Test
Water testing for quality can be made when a user has concerns about the condition of the water on his side of the meter. A report on bacterial contamination is provided once laboratory testing makes them available.
