Delinquent Accounts


Bills become delinquent if not paid by the due date and are subject to a past due fee of $3.00 and 1% of the balance. All delinquent billings should be paid at the Utility Billing Office, 345 6th Street, Suite 100, Bremerton, WA 98337-1891, to avoid interruption of service. For more information regarding payment arrangements, please contact the billing office at 360-473-5316. If payment is not received or specific arrangements made to bring a delinquent account current, the account may incur additional service charges and may be processed for shut-off.
Emergencies
During business hours, please contact Utility Maintenance and Operations at 360-473-5920. For after-hour emergencies, please dial 911. An after-hours fee may apply if a service person is dispatched
Property Owners Are Responsible
Billing made in the name of the tenant or occupant is for the convenience of the property owner. The property owner must authorize all billing information changes and a signature may be required for tenant changes. This does not relieve the owner of responsibility for payment should the tenant/occupant of the service address fail to pay for their charges. Collection of outstanding charges for vacated tenants is the responsibility of the owner. The owner of record will be mailed a duplicate delinquent notice should the account become past due. All charges remain against the property. Failure to pay may result in the discontinuation of service and/or a lien on the property. 

Start of Service / Final Billing


Notification in writing is required upon transferring ownership of the property. Your account may contain charges for water, sewer or stormwater, depending on your service location. The utility account will continue to be billed for all minimum monthly charges until written notification is received of the sale and transfer of property. Fill out the Owner / Tenant Change Form online or download the Owner / Tenant Change form (PDF).
