Utility Billing
Attention City of Lacey Utility Customers:
It has come to our attention that the United States Postal Service (USPS) is experiencing increased mail delivery delays in our area.
Currently, we estimate mail sent between Lacey community members and the City of Lacey (City) is taking approximately 10–12 days for delivery. As a result, correspondence from the City of Lacey including billing statements, notifications, and payments from customers are being received later than normal.
To avoid possible delays in the City receiving your payment and potential associated late fees or service disconnection, we strongly encourage customers to submit payments using one of the following methods:
• Online through our website: Customer Portal: City of Lacey, WA
• In person at City Hall located at 420 College St SE Lacey WA 98503
• Via the drop box located outside City Hall near the ballot box, or the drop box inside the Utility Billing Office
As we continue to navigate the extended USPS delivery timeframes, we are actively looking for ways to work with customers to minimize the impact of these delays.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we address these challenges.
If you are unable to reach us by phone (360-491-5616) or experiencing long hold times, please email us at UtilityBilling@CityofLacey.org with the following information and we will respond as soon as possible. Thank you!
