Everett Utilities warns customers about third-party water line insurance mailings
Everett Utilities cautions residents about misleading mailings promoting third-party insurance for private water lines. The city specifies that insurance for water and sewer lines is not required and that it does not engage in such solicitations. Property owners should confirm their coverage options with their insurers to avoid unnecessary expenses. Residents can contact the Washington Office of Insurance Commissioner at 1-800-562-6900 for guidance on utility-related insurance. Additionally, Everett Utilities provides discounted rates for seniors and low-income individuals facing financial difficulties.
The Everett Water Utility Low-income Assistance Program aims to assist customers who have received water shutoff notices. This program is a collaboration between the city and Catholic Community Services. More details can be found on Everett Utilities’ website.
