COVID-19 Response: Temporary Billing and Collection Policies Extended

On March 24, 2020, the Skyway Water and Sewer District Board of Commissioners authorized the following temporary billing and collections policies and practices in response to the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic:

• Water shut offs for non-payment are temporarily suspended.
• When staff become aware of a property that was previously shut off and that is legally occupied, the District will temporarily restore service.
• The District will temporarily suspend charging late fees and lien interest charges.
• The District will continue to charge customers accounts for water and/or sewer service.  The District cannot “forgive” water and sewer service billings under Washington State law. 

These temporary policies expire on December 31, 2021.  Additionally:

• The District is registered to participate in the Low Income Housing Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP).  Go to: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ocs/programs/lihwap for more information.
