March 25, 2021 (from the Town of Hingham, Weir River Water System Website)
The following letter has been sent to all Weir River Water System Customers. We are sharing it here at the request of the Weir River Water System operators to help increase visibility among residents regarding the transition of billing and customer service support.
Dear Water Customer,
We appreciate your patience as we continue the transition of service to the Weir River Water System. We are now completing the final phase, which is the transfer of customer support and billing services from Aquarion to SUEZ. The SUEZ customer service and billing system will go into effect on April 1, 2021. Aquarion will no longer provide customer support and billing services after March 31.
In an effort to continuously enhance the customer experience, there will be a dedicated customer service center located at 185 Lincoln Street, Unit 200B in Hingham. Customers will be able to pay bills, make appointments and handle any of their customer support needs at this new storefront location starting April 1.
Between April 1 to April 11, customers will have limited access to their account information. Your water service will not be interrupted during this time. All payments received during this period will post on April 12.
When you receive your first bill in the mail after April 1, you will need to take note of the following information:
- This bill will include a new account number.
- You will need to re-enroll in e-billing services via mysuezwater.com.
- You will need to contact your bank for any direct debit payments or home banking services and update your account number on file.
- You will need to update your payment remittal address to: Weir River Water System, P.O. Box 876, Reading, MA 01867-0407.
- Your normal billing cycle will not change.
Please refer to the back of this letter or visit www.weirriverwater.com for more information on this change in your billing account number and the need to re-establish your payment methods.
We recommend keeping this letter as reference. For questions or to report an issue during this time, customers can contact the 24-hour customer service number at 877-253-6665.
In closing, we are excited to complete this final step in the transition as owners of the water system, our partnership with SUEZ, and the opportunity to help better serve our communities.
Sincerely, Board of Water Commissioners, Weir River Water System

I have an ongoing problem with 2 meter readings that were excessively high at about $288 each. After the 1st, the meter reader was replaced. I was told to expect an adjustment. It never happened. My next bill was for almost the same amount. Then, I was told someone would drive by my house and do a 2nd check to try to locate the issue. I finally got a “normal” bill for $132.08, but NEVER received any adjustments for the bills that were more than TWICE the amount we should have paid. During one of those 2 very high periods, we were AWAY for SIX WEEKS!!!! We had no leaks or unusual issues. I am still waiting to find out why these bills were excessive and why I never had an adjustment. Cheryl Pimental (Hingham, MA) Account number 69007688783926
