This is dependent upon what services you have on your account. For specific questions give the office a call at 360-668-6766.

Your water bill consists of two parts: A base rate and a water consumption charge.

• The base rate is the minimum bill (if no water is used).
• Water consumption charges are determined by the amount of water that flows through your meter.

Consumption is measured in cubic feet. One cubic foot is equal to 7.48 gallons of water.  For more information see the Billing or Rates page.

If the payment is not received by the due date, the next day a 10% late fee will be charged.

Your next bill will show a past due amount along with the delinquency message.
