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

Everett Utilities has issued a warning to residents about targeted mailings promoting third-party insurance for private water lines. The city asserts that it does not require insurance on private water or sewer lines and does not send out such solicitations. Homeowners are encouraged to verify their coverage options with their insurers to avoid confusion. For general inquiries about utility services, residents can visit the city’s website or contact Utility Services directly. Additionally, the Washington Office of Insurance Commissioner is available for further assistance regarding insurance on utility infrastructure.

The city offers discounted rates and utility bill assistance for qualifying residents, including low-income programs. This initiative aims to support those facing financial difficulties, especially in light of water shutoff notices. The warning serves to protect residents from potential scams and misinformation.
