Pool Adjustment Program

Filling a swimming pool? Fairfield County Utilities offers a sewer usage adjustment — one per calendar year.

Filling a swimming pool with a garden hose

Fairfield County Utilities offers an adjustment on sewer usage when a swimming pool is filled (one adjustment per year). A pool adjustment means you will pay for the water used, but the sewer charges related to the pool filling will be credited.

A pool fill (sewer deduct) meter can be picked up for use from Fairfield County Utilities at 6670 Lockville Road, Carroll, OH. The County has a limited number of these meters available, and demand is high — especially during peak season. Please call the Utilities office at 740-652-7120 or 614-322-5200 to verify availability before picking one up.

Program rules
  • All meters must be returned no later than 7 days from the date of receipt.
  • The account adjustment is reduced $10.00 for a late return.
  • If a meter is not returned within 14 days, your account will be billed $150.00 for the replacement cost — or if the meter is found to be damaged.
  • Your customer account balance must be current to receive a pool adjustment (no past-due balances).
  • Pool adjustments are credited after processing and appear on a future bill — not the bill on which the pool-filling charges were incurred.
  • Only one pool filling / partial filling is credited per calendar year.
