Provider-specific findings
Relief research for this provider
The notes below may document a route, rule, or explicit public-information limit. General preparation steps are not represented as utility policy.
- Emergency reporting route
- 425-556-2500 is the City’s listed emergency phone for water, sewer, and stormwater service issues. Utility Billing customer-service questions use 425-556-2152.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Redmond permits one leak adjustment per meter in any two-year period. The leak must be permanently repaired within 30 days of discovery, and the request must be submitted within 120 days of the repair date. The customer must provide a paid plumber invoice or receipt; when a paid invoice is unavailable, the City allows an unpaid invoice accompanied by a bank statement showing payment. Residential adjustments cover at most two billing periods, or four months, and commercial adjustments cover at most three billing periods. Excess usage above normal is discounted to the lowest residential tier; normal use is estimated from the same period of the prior year, or the prior three years when history is inconsistent. Wastewater can be adjusted for the leak period when the leaked water did not enter the sewer system.
