Storm Water Rates

**Storm Water Fees 2019**

Single-Family Properties: Residential properties are charged a flat rate per year.

Commercial and Multi-Family Properties: These properties are assessed a charge based on the actual amount of impervious surface area they contain (buildings, parking lots, walkways, etc.). 

Sample Calculation: 10,000ft² / 3,600ft² = 2.78 ISU

Utility Billing

The City of Anacortes bills monthly for water, sewer, storm drain, refuse, recycling, and organics. City of Anacortes utility rates are established by resolution.

Billing Statements

Billing statements cover service from the first of the month to the first of the month. Bills are mailed out by the 15th of the month following service and are due on the last business day of the month following service. 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.

Paperless Billing

To sign up for paperless billing, register with our online payment system and select the Paperless option. You may still pay your bill by any acceptable payment method but an online account is required for you to view an electronic bill rather than receiving a paper bill in the mail. 

Unpaid Bills

Accounts not paid in full within one month of the due date will be subject to additional fees and disconnection of water service. If you use a bill paying system through your bank or online service, please allow adequate time for processing of your payment to avoid delinquency on your account. 

If you receive a bill with a “disconnect notice”, payments must be made in person at our office before 10 a.m. on the due date shown on your notice. Failure to do so may result in disconnection of water service and an additional service fee. Do not mail in payments or use an online bill pay service for “disconnect notices” as payment may not reach us in time to avoid disconnect.
