Everett Utilities warns customers about third-party water line insurance mailings

Everett Utilities warns community members about misleading mailings promoting third-party insurance for private water lines. The city clarifies that it does not require insurance for these lines and does not send out such solicitations. Property owners should verify coverage options with their insurance providers. For additional assistance, residents can contact the Washington Office of Insurance Commissioner at 1-800-562-6900. The city also offers utility services information through its website or by calling Utility Services.

Furthermore, Everett has programs for discounted rates and utility bill assistance aimed at seniors and low-income residents. These programs assist customers who may face financial difficulties and are at risk of having their water service shut off. The initiatives reflect the city’s commitment to supporting its residents in maintaining essential utility services.
