I’m moving into/out of Wheeling. What do I need to do to set up/cancel water service?


If you are selling your property:
Notify the Village. Fill out an application for real estate transfer. Final water reading will be done electronically 2 business days before closing. Final bill and all amounts owed to the Village need to be paid before receiving the transfer stamp on the original deed. The original deed can be brought into Village Hall or mailed for the transfer stamp. There is no fee for the transfer stamp.

If you are purchasing a property:
New owner information is given to the Village from the seller. They bring the deed into Village Hall for the transfer stamp. Please call/email to verify that we have the correct spelling and contact information after your closing date.

If you are a renter and moving out:
Fill out a service termination form. This form includes move out date, forwarding address and contact information. Rental deposit will apply to the final bill. The credit or final bill will be mailed to the forwarding address.

If you are a renter and moving into a property
Fill out rental deposit application. Bring in or mail completed form with a copy of the lease, deposit ($100.00 deposit for residential and commercial properties and $200.00 deposit for industrial properties) and copy of driver’s license or identification.
