Utility Billing

Sewer Services

The City of Burlington provides sewer utility services throughout the city limits of Burlington and in various surrounding areas. 

  • For changes to your service or account, please print and return the Utility Billing Change Form to City Hall. 
  • For questions about your sewer utility bill, email or call the City of Burlington Utility Billing Clerk at 360-755-2377.

A bi-monthly utility bill mails out January, March, May, July, September, November for the proceeding two months of service. Residential customer billing periods for November through April base the sewer portion of your bill on actual water usage (as provided to the city by the Skagit County Public Utility District - PUD). Remaining billing periods take an average of your November through April usage within each billing period to allow for water that may be used outdoors, typically during the summer months. Commercial customer bills are based on actual water usage year round. Reference Burlington Municipal Code 13.08.070 for more information.
