The City is aware that a few members of the community have received bills outside of our normally billing cycle in error. We are working diligently to identify and correct these charges. While we work through the remaining part of our software conversion, we kindly ask that you have patience and call our Finance Department at (360) 384-4269 or email utilitybilling@cityofferndale.org if you believe that you received one of these bills.
City offices will be closed on Monday, February 19, 2024 in observance of Presidents’ Day. The regularly scheduled City Council Meeting will instead be held on Tuesday, February 20th.
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.
