Utility Billing Statement Update

Utility bill example.

We are excited to introduce the newly enhanced utility bill for City of Kirkland residents! Customer bills have been updated with a refreshed layout and more detailed line items. The new design includes all the information you’re accustomed to, now presented in a more user-friendly and visually improved format.

Here’s what’s new:

  1. Payment Date Visibility
    You can now see the exact day your last payment was received!
  2. Adjustment Details
    Adjustments, including any fees or credits applied to your account since the last billing statement, are now clearly itemized.
  3. Simplified Current Charges
    We previously listed “Additional Billings” separately on your statement. These have now been merged into Current Charges to simplify the layout and reduce confusion.
  4. Improved Water Meter Information
    Water meter read details have been redesigned to make it easier to find meter-related information and understand your consumption usage.
  5. Redesigned Payment Stub
    The coupon stub at the bottom of the statement has been reorganized. The Kirkland Cares Donation and Amount Paid fields are now grouped with the rest of the billing summary in a clear, list-style format.

We welcome your feedback!
If you have any comments or suggestions about the new utility billing statement, please email us at utilitybilling@kirklandwa.gov. We’re committed to continually improving how we present your billing information.

Thank you,
City of Kirkland Utility Billing Team
