    2022 Utilities Water, Sewer, and Stormwater Rates

    Combined Monthly Bill Comparison

    The chart below shows that Bellevue Utilities' rates are competitive with what neighboring cities charge. 

    Combined Monthly Bill Comparison

     

    Water

    Charges are based on the size of your meter and the amount of water you use. Water use is billed in units of 100 cubic feet (1ccf). 100 cubic feet of water equals 748 gallons.

    Sewer

    Charges for single-family homes include a wastewater treatment charge from King County Metro and volume charges based on average water use between December 15 and June 15. Multifamily has a per-unit rate with additional charges based on water use over the minimum amount. Wastewater charges for businesses are based on a charge from King County Metro and a volume charge determined by your water use.

    Storm and Surface Water

    Flood prevention/care of streams and lakes service charges are based on the square footage of your property and the percentage of impervious surfaces (roofs, driveways, decks, etc.)
