Frequently Asked Billing Questions
When is my bill due?
Your utility bill is due upon receipt. The Districts offers a $1 discount if your payment is received in our office by the 15th of the month following your billing date. There will be a 10% penalty applied to your account if your bill has not been paid 45 days from the original billing date.
Why are there two different billed amounts on my bill?
The full amount of your bill will be listed at the bottom of the bill. The amount at the top is reduced by the $1.00 discount you qualify for if your payment is received in our office on or before the 15th of the month.
Example: If your bill is dated 1/31/2019 and the total billed amount is $150.00, you have until February 15, 2019 to receive the $1.00 discount and pay only $149.00. On February 16, 2019, the $1.00 will get added back onto your account.
What is this “adjustment” on my bill?
Our system can not distinguish between types of Adjustments on your statement – here are a few of the types of adjustments that would be listed:
- $5.00 – New Customer Account Set-up
- $30.00 – Delivery of green door tag, pending shut-off notice
- $60.00 – Water Shut off for non-payment
- $20.00 – Returned Check/ACH Returned
- $20.00 – Final Bill to close an existing account
My water was shut off. How do I get it turned back on?
To restore service, you must pay the past due balance that is listed on the green door tag notice, plus a $60 shut off fee. If you have lost your green door tag notice, please call our office for the past due amount: (425) 774-7769.
What do I do if I have a leak?
The District can have a crew member dispatched to check for a leak. If a leak is found, we can shut off your water at the meter until you get it fixed by a plumber of your choice. Also see “How to Fix a Leak” on our link page.
