Utility Billing Limited Services: March 1st – 6th, 2024

In an effort to streamline services, Utility Billing will have limited services available March 1st through March 6th as the City updates its software systems. The Finance Department will still be available to the public to answer questions related to payment processes, bills, or general account information.

While the City will still be able to receive payments at City Hall or by mail, we encourage customers to make payments through our online Invoice Cloud payment portal found HERE.

Customers are able to securely pay with a credit card, debit card, or with their banking information at no additional charge. We appreciate your patience as we transition to make our services more efficient.

Public Works to Begin Water Line Flush Starting Next Week

City crews will be conducting their annual water main flush starting next week. This work will take place between 7 a.m. – 4 p.m., beginning Tuesday, February 20th, 2024, and is anticipated to be completed by the end of June. Water main flushing cleans the mains of mineral deposits that build up naturally inside pipe walls. This is an important part of maintaining our water infrastructure and provides a cleaner, more reliable water supply to your home or business.

While the flush program is taking place, the City will do everything possible to minimize any negative influence on the water system. It is not uncommon for the flushing activity to cause temporary discoloration of the water. If the water in your residence is discolored, run a cold water tap in the bathtub for a few minutes and this should clear the lines in your house. Water customers should not wash white clothes or use their hot water taps when crews are flushing in their area as mineral deposits may stain white laundry.

For more information or questions, please contact Ferndale Public Works at (360) 685-2379.
