- Leak-adjustment policy
- Auburn provides a Request for Water Leak Adjustment form to be completed after a leak has been repaired. The reviewed page does not expose the current formula, credit percentage, receipts checklist, cap, or submission deadline; customers should repair promptly, retain invoices/parts receipts and photos, and submit the official form to Utility Billing.
- Utility assistance program
- For 2026–2027, Auburn offers reduced utility rates to seniors age 62 or older and permanently disabled residents whose annual income is within the HUD very-low-income limit. The City also offers a once-a-year utility rebate under the same age/disability and income rules; the 2026 rebate period closed May 31, 2026.
- State and federal aid connection
- The reviewed Auburn utility page does not publish a dedicated LIHWAP application workflow or charity tie-in. Customers should contact 253-931-3038 and Washington benefits/community-action agencies for current water-assistance referrals.
