Start Service & Set Up New Utility Account

Federal Regulations require government identification when opening a new utility account. Please have your Driver’s License or State ID information available when you come in to start service.
If you are renting a property, we must verify tenancy with the property owner before proceeding.
For newly purchased properties, please note that we cannot update our records until the purchase is officially recorded with the Yakima County Assessor’s Office.

Did You Forget to Pay Your Bill?

Your utility bill is due upon billing, but no later than the 20 days after billing. If any portion has not been paid 40 days after the billing date, a thirty dollar ($30.00) late fee will be assessed to your account and shutoff of services will begin 47 days after the original billing date. Once services are shutoff, they will not be restored until the account including any late fees has been paid in full.

Should the payment due date fall on a weekend, payment will be accepted on the first business day following the payment due date.

We All Make Mistakes

Should you feel that we have made an error, please bring in your receipt or canceled check, and we will be happy to review your record.

Billing Responsibility

All unpaid balances charged against the property are payable by the current owner. The City of Selah is not responsible for the collection of balances from previous tenants.

Emergencies

Should you have any water leaks, sewer back-ups, or problems with your meter, please call Selah Public Works at 509-698-7365.
