If you are moving or selling your property and wish to cancel your service, you can:
- Just call Santa Ana Municipal Utility Services at (714) 647-5454 during business hours. Our Customer Service Representatives can take your information over the phone to disconnect your water service. A pro-rated bill will be prepared and sent to you.
- Visit Santa Ana City Hall, 20 Civic Center Plaza, First Floor City Hall Annex, Room 1100. Hours: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. (Paid parking is available in the Civic Center Plaza, off Santa Ana Blvd. between Ross Street and Flower Street.)
If you are a property owner and your service is in your name, you are required to pay for all standby availability service charges unless the property is occupied by a tenant who is responsible for the charges, or the property is sold to a new owner(s).
If you are a tenant and are moving from an address where the services are in your name, you will be required to provide a forwarding address where your final bill will be mailed. If a deposit was made at the time your service was established, the deposit will be applied to the final bill and a new bill will be generated reflecting any balance owing or credit, if applicable. Credits remaining on an account will be automatically refunded within 30 days of billing.
