Chiloquin, OR – October 31, 2023 – The City of Chiloquin has partnered with Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA) to educate residents about their service line responsibilities and offer protection to residents for the water and sewer service lines that connect their homes to the utility systems. The coverage is voluntary and available at affordable monthly prices.
Many residents do not know that damage to the service lines on their property is their responsibility to repair. In the event of a service line repair emergency, the resident is responsible for scheduling the repair and covering the associated cost. As Chiloquin homes age along with the infrastructure serving them, SLWA repair plans provide residents with an optional solution so they can be prepared for this type of unexpected repair.
The Service Line Warranty Program protects against repairs needed to pipes on homeowners’ property. Repairs to these pipes are not covered by the City of Chiloquin and a basic homeowners insurance policy usually doesn’t cover normal wear-and-tear to these pipes.
If a program customer’s service line needs repaired, a simple call to the SLWA 24-hour hotline will dispatch a local, licensed and insured contractor familiar with local code. There are no service fees or deductibles, and the repair is guaranteed for one year. Interior Plumbing and Drainage coverage is also offered through the program.
This program is voluntary for homeowners, provided at no cost to the City of Chiloquin and no public funds are used to promote or administer the program.
“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 SLWA parent HomeServe North America. “We’re pleased to be partnering with the City of Chiloquin and look forward to the opportunity to provide Chiloquin homeowners with the assistance they need when faced with a home repair emergency.”
Founded in 2003, SLWA has partnered with over 850 leading cities and municipalities in the U.S. to provide repair service plans that offer homeowners peace of mind and convenience. SLWA has been recognized as the nation's largest and most trusted source of utility line plans, endorsed by the National League of Cities.
