Addison Park and Ridgemont in the Town lists
The Town's residency district page lists Addison Park in its fourth district with Ridgemont, Savannah, Grace Park, Carpenter Park and Downing Glen. Its trash route lists show Addison Park Subdivision as single-family homes on a Tuesday route, and one entry shows Ridgemont for house numbers 100 to 202 and Addison Park for 206 to 512 on the same street.
Because the two names sit side by side, tell dispatch your street and house number. We found no boundary map, so we do not draw lines.

A rising water bill: check for a hidden leak
A hidden leak often shows first on the bill. This simple check separates a leak from normal use.
- 01
Stop all water use
Turn off taps, the dishwasher, the washer and the ice maker.
- 02
Read the meter
Open the meter box and look at the leak indicator or the sweep hand. Note the reading.
- 03
Wait twenty minutes
Do not use any water, then read the meter again.
- 04
Compare
If the reading moved, water is leaving somewhere. Close the main and call.
A moving meter with every fixture off means water is escaping on your side or the supply line is leaking. Leak detection finds the location without opening walls at random, and a buried supply line points to water line repair.
What a plumber checks after the meter test
Toilets are the most common quiet leak. A worn flapper lets water trickle into the bowl, and a few drops of food coloring in the tank show it within minutes. Next come supply valves, the water heater relief line, outdoor spigots and the irrigation connection if you have one.
If everything inside is dry and the meter still moves, the line between the meter and the house is the next suspect. That is a different repair from a dripping fixture, so ask for a written finding of where the water is going before you approve work. Repairs beyond a fixture swap are done to the 2024 North Carolina Plumbing Code (based on the 2021 International Plumbing Code, IPC), mandatory since July 1, 2025, and the Town Inspections Department at 919-463-6190 can say whether your job needs a permit.
Close the main shutoff and call the line. Dispatch will explain the next step.
Billing questions go to Cary
Who handles the bill and the leak adjustment
The Town of Cary provides water and sewer service for Morrisville, so billing and meter questions go to Cary. The utility directs callers to 311 inside Cary or (919) 469-4000 outside Cary town limits. Its pages on high water consumption point callers to the same number for leak adjustment questions.
Cary reports its water at about 2 grains per gallon of hardness, classed as moderately soft, so scale buildup is a smaller concern here than in harder water areas. Fixtures that drip still deserve a repair, and faucet and sink repair handles the usual causes.
