5. Will my discount move with me if I move to another residence?: No. You will need to complete and submit a new application and supporting documentation each time your service address changes. For more information, please contact Utility Billing at 360.293.1909.

6. How long do I have to pay my utility bill before I get shut off?: City of Anacortes utility bills are due the last business day of each month. The due date is printed on the bill. If you make a payment after the due date, the next billing statement may include the past due balance. Once an account has missed two due dates, an overdue notice will be mailed. Payments on disconnect notices are due by 10 a.m. on the date given on the statement.

7. What if I receive a disconnect notice?: If you receive a bill with a “disconnect notice”, payments must be made through Paymentus or dropped in our drop box (located in the rear parking lot - black box w/City logo) before the 10am deadline. Failure to do so may result in a $75 service fee and disconnection of water service. Do not mail in payments or pay online through your bank as payment will not reach us in time to avoid disconnection and the fee.

If you have an issue or question regarding your utility bill, please contact Utility Billing at 360-293-1909.
