Sewer Services

The City of Burlington provides sewer services throughout the city limits of Burlington and in various surrounding areas.  For questions about your sewer bill, contact Katrina Kallio, Accounting Technician.

Your bi-monthly utility bill is mailed out during the months of January, March, May, July, September and November for the preceeding two months of service.  For billing periods including November through April, the sewer portion of your bill is based on actual water usage as provided to the City by the Skagit County PUD.  The remaining billing periods will average your usage for the above months to allow for water that may be used outdoors, typically during the summer months.  For changes to your service or account please print and return the Utility Billing Change Form to City Hall.
