Your bi-monthly water bill is a statement for water service charges covering dates already passed.  Per Washington law, your balance is due upon receipt.  The due date of the 10^th of the month is set to accommodate the collection of delinquent charges according to regulations for municipal corporations.

Therefore payment is due on the 10^th day of the month following the bill date.  Payments not received in the office by the 25th of the month are assessed a 10% late fee.  Penalty Notices are mailed when this charge is incurred.  See the Billing Procedures section of our website to read the full billing policy or call the office at 253-841-9698 if you have any questions about your billing cycle or current balance.
