Provider briefing
How this utility’s billing works
City of Auburn Utility Billing - Water Division operates as a municipal department serving Auburn and City utility-service areas. Customers should use the provider’s current account-specific bill and official customer-service instructions as the final authority for deadlines, balances, and service requests.
The published water-rate framework is described as Increasing-block residential water rate per CCF, with separate monthly meter-size base charge and inside/outside-city schedules. For 2026 inside-city residential water, the 5/8-inch, 3/4-inch and 1-inch base rate is $24.43; consumption is $4.84 per CCF for 0-7 CCF, $5.92 for 7.01-15 CCF and $6.74 above 15 CCF. Auburn also bills sewer and stormwater, with a 10% utility tax on gross revenue.. Bills are generated monthly. auburn's utility page describes registration to view monthly billing and the 2026 rate sheet publishes monthly water, sewer and stormwater rates., and a typical residential cost reference is Approximately $198 per month for an inside-city 5/8-inch account using about 6,000 gallons (about 8.02 CCF), including roughly $64 water, $32.94 Auburn sewer, $19.94 stormwater and the City's 10% utility tax. If the property is in the King County sewer district or outside Auburn, the sewer/base and water charges change materially.. These descriptions are useful planning benchmarks; actual charges can change with meter size, usage, sewer averaging, local taxes, drought stages, or account-specific fees.
Wastewater and sewer calculation
Auburn sewer is a separate monthly charge rather than a winter-average formula. The 2026 sheet lists Auburn residential sewer at $32.94 monthly inside city, while King County sewer customers have a $62.66 monthly base plus $8.35 per CCF; the applicable sewer district is determined by address. Stormwater is billed separately per equivalent runoff unit and is not simply a percentage of water intake.
Meter and infrastructure notes
Auburn is launching a Sensus Analytics water-usage portal that lets customers view usage and set high-use alerts, and the Water Division investigates continuous consumption lasting more than 48 hours. The reviewed pages do not publish an AMI transmission interval or exact meter-read date; monthly billing is based on the account's meter usage.
