Damage Claims

If you have experienced damage due to work performed by the Portland Water District, you may file a claim with us. We will carefully and swiftly review your claim. Our goal is to settle claims as soon as possible.

For your convenience, you may complete and print the claim form below and mail it immediately with copies of bills and/or receipts to: Claims, Portland Water District, P.O. Box 3553, Portland, Maine 04104. If you submit the form online, you still must print and mail the claim form along with the required copies of original bills and receipts as soon as they are available.  (In the event the District is liable for the damages, no expenses will be paid without full documentation.)  URGENT claims for damages should be called in to our 24-hour hotline at 761-8300.   

Once we receive your written claim or if you call our customer service office, we will arrange to send our personnel or an insurance adjuster to investigate the damages. Please be advised that our Terms and Conditions and Maine law preclude us from paying claims if there is no negligence on our part. You may want to promptly put your insurance agent on notice in the event the District is not liable for your damages. 

During the claims investigation process, please call 774-5961 Ext. 3142 if you have any questions or concerns about the status of your claim.
