BILLING & PAYMENT INFORMATION

The City of Fife bills utilities on a bimonthly cycle (every 2 months). Water meters are read every 2 months. This information is then downloaded by the Finance Department who generates the statements you receive for water and/or sewer and/or storm drainage every other month. On the back of these statements, the City of Fife’s Water, Sewer and Storm Drainage Municipal codes are listed pertaining to the details of when bills are due, when penalties are assessed, and the delinquent account shutoff/lien process.

HOW TO MAKE A PAYMENT

AT CITY HALL: All utility payments can be made by check/money order via USPS or by placing it in the City of Fife’s utility payment drop box anytime in the City Hall parking lot at:
5411 23rd Street E
Fife, WA 98424

BY PHONE: We accept credit/debit cards (Visa or MasterCard only) and e-checks over our automated phone service at 253-922-2489, press 1. 

ONLINE BILL PAY: We also offer both one time payments and recurring auto payments on our online bill pay site

BANK BILL PAYER INFORMATION

As a reminder for those using their own “Bank Bill Payer” service to pay their utility billing, that type of payment is received by the City of Fife as a “paper” check issued in your behalf by your bank or a third party online vendor via the postal service. They are not received electronically even though you authorize the original payment “online.” You must allow a minimum of 7 business days (or whatever time period your bank outlines in their bank bill payer agreement) for your payment to be credited to your account.
