Everett utilities are set to transition to a system of monthly meter readings. This change is expected to streamline the billing process for residents. However, during the transition period, there will be three longer-than-usual billing cycles, each lasting 40 days. As a result, some residents may experience temporarily higher bills during this period.
The move to monthly readings is part of an effort to improve efficiency and accuracy in billing. While the transition may cause some short-term adjustments in billing amounts, the long-term goal is to provide a more consistent and predictable billing experience for utility customers in Everett.
Residents are encouraged to plan accordingly for the potential fluctuations in their utility bills during the transition period. The utility department aims to ensure a smooth transition and minimize any inconvenience to its customers.
