Customers may be eligible for a wastewater abatement if water that enters a home or building does not enter the City of Haverhill's sewer system (for example, filling a pool, gardening, an in-ground irrigation system, etc.). To apply for a wastewater abatement for a pool or garden, complete the appropriate Abatement Application and submit it to the Billing Office for approval. A deduct meter is required for wastewater abatements for other uses. Information on deduct meters is included in the Meter Division Section.
