Evansville Water & Sewer Utility Selects HomeServe USA to Offer Optional Water and Sewer Line Service Plans to Customers

EVANSVILLE, Ind.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HomeServe
USA
(HomeServe), a leading provider of home emergency repair
solutions, today announced the launch of its partnership with Evansville
Water & Sewer Utility (EWSU) to offer area homeowners optional repair
service plans for the water and sewer lines connecting their homes to
the EWSU system. Residents served by EWSU will be receiving information
from HomeServe by mail later this month offering coverage plans designed
to protect homeowners from the costs and inconveniences associated with
repairs to these service lines.

Evansville homeowners are often under the impression the exterior water
service lines on their property, which connect their home to the EWSU
system, are not their responsibility. Unfortunately, in the event of a
water line leak or break, the homeowner is in fact responsible to both
cover the cost and facilitate the repair. As Evansville homes age along
with the infrastructure serving them, HomeServe service plans provide
local homeowners with an optional solution so they can be better
prepared to manage these repairs when needed.

A Homeowner’s Line of Defense

The water and sewer lines from the home to EWSU’s water and sewer main
connections are the responsibility of the homeowner. Since repairs to
these pipes are not covered by basic homeowners insurance or by EWSU,
homeowners find themselves having to deal with the inconvenience of
navigating emergency repairs on their own. Additionally, homeowners are
often caught off guard by the expense of these emergency repairs and the
associated costs. HomeServe’s plans serve as a line of defense, ensuring
that in the event of an unexpected repair the burden on homeowners is
minimized or eliminated, and the repair process, handled through
HomeServe, is timely, seamless and high-quality.

Accessible, Reliable, 24/7

HomeServe plan holders have access to a Repair Hotline, which is
accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, as well as local, licensed,
and insured contractors to provide high-quality home repair services in
a timely manner. The Exterior Water Service Line Coverage will be
available for $5.99 per month. HomeServe will also have available the
combined Exterior Sewer and Septic Line Coverage for a total of $9.49
per month. An Interior Plumbing and Drainage plan to cover in-home
plumbing is available for $12.99 per month. Residents who enroll in the
optional plans will have convenient payment options available directly
through HomeServe.

“Our service plans not only cover the cost of the repair, they also
provide homeowners with reputable, local contractors who will do the
best possible job,” said Tom Rusin, CEO of HomeServe USA. “We’re
thrilled to be partnering with Evansville Water & Sewer Utility and look
forward to the opportunity to provide EWSU customers with the assistance
they need when faced with a home repair emergency.”
