Pay Your Deposit

Each customer is required to pay a deposit which will be due with your first billing statement. San Jose Water will waive the deposit under specific circumstances:

• The customer has established a prior water service with San Jose Water for 12 consecutive months with good payment history
• The customer is the owner of the property or owns a home in the SJW service area. Please note that our office may require verification of ownership with one of our representatives or you may fax or email ownership documentation (examples: buyer's summary statement; grant deed; quit claim; real estate purchase contract). Please limit this to one page. This document must include the property address you are purchasing and your name. Please include your phone number in the transmittal so that we may contact you directly to complete the processing of your new account with us.
