Lake Meridian Water District Program for Water Bill

Payment Plan due to the COVID-19 Pandemic We understand that customers may fall behind on bills due to complications arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are, or have been, affected by the pandemic, we are available to work with you to set-up payment arrangements to prevent unpaid balances from getting out of control. Businesses, homeowners, and tenants can apply for a payment plan, which allows a customer to have up to six (6) months to pay a past due amount on their water bill without the consequences of penalties or shut-off, if they meet the following criteria:

• The applicant must be a Lake Meridian Water District customer.
• The applicant must certify that he or she is the property owner-of-record with the King County Treasurers Office, or the tenant occupying the premises and receiving water.
• The applicant must certify that he or she is, or has been, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that impact has affected the customer’s ability to pay his or her bills.

Starting on August 1, 2020, Lake Meridian Water District is pleased to announce to our customers who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic a payment plan to help pay their unpaid balances:

• The plan is a Zero percent (0%) down payment with the entire balance due to be paid in six (6) equal monthly installments.

All customers who enter a payment plan must stay current on any new bills incurred after the beginning of the payment plan.
