-
Visit the local office in person: If possible, visit the nearest office for your water provider.

Also, mention how long the outage has been ongoing and provide your account information, contact details, and the exact address where the issue is occurring. Any additional information, such as suspected leaks or unusual noises, can also be helpful for the water provider to diagnose and resolve the problem.
