Identifying Erie Water Works Employees
Posing as a utility company employee is just one of the many ways scammers may try to take advantage of residents. The Erie Water Works will never send an employee to your home or business to collect payment or ask for your credit or debit card, banking or social security number. If an Erie Water Works representative needs to visit your home or business be sure to verify their identity. Never allow anyone claiming to work for the“ water company” into your home unless you are confident of their Erie Water Works affiliation.
