Detroit Water and Sewerage Department FOIA Requests
Before you submit a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request using this form, please ensure this is for the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD). If this is not a DWSD request, go to here: https://detroitmi.gov/departments/law-department/submit-foia-request. If you want to know limited account information -- the last six months of water usage at the property, water status (on/off), the current month's balance, and if there is a delinquent balance owed -- you do not need to submit a FOIA request. Simply call DWSD at 313-267-8000 and the Customer Care Specialist can provide you with this account information. Within five business days of receiving your submission, DWSD will confirm we have your request.
