I need water turned on/off at my property, can I just do it myself to save time?

Tampering with a water meter for any purpose is strictly prohibited, and can result in penalties, prosecution, and charges on your bill. Water meters are City property, and turning water service on or off at the meter curb stop may only be done by City staff. If you do not have a homeowner-side gate valve for turning water on or off yourself and you need service reconnected or disconnected, please contact the City at 360-834-2462. If you are having an emergency after working hours and need water off immediately, please call the after-hours emergency water/sewer service at 360-737-0592.
