Utilities

Flowing deep below the ground runs an aquifer that stems from Glacier Peak. This is where the Town of Darrington gets the clean, fresh water that we are known for.  Our water is exceptional in taste and clarity and is not treated with chemicals. The Darrington Utilities Department must follow strict rules and standards, that are regulated by the Department of Health, to keep your water safe and clean. We test our wells on a monthly basis to ensure that the water you are receiving meets, or exceeds, those rules and standards. The quality of water that comes from the wells that hold our water is of utmost importance to the Town of Darrington Utilities staff and we strive to make certain our community has safe and clean water now, and for years to come.

The Town of Darrington Utilities Department currently serves more than 600 accounts. We provide water and garbage services within town limits and customers are billed bi-monthly for those services.

The payment Due Date is posted on your bill. Accounts are considered delinquent if the payment is not received by the Due Date shown on the bill. In the event that an account should become delinquent, a Delinquent Notice will be issued.  A penalty of $10.00 will be assessed against all delinquencies.

Please consider this the final notice that your garbage service will be suspended and water service disconnected if full payment, plus any late charges, are not received by the termination date posted on the Delinquent Notice. In order to reinstate services, the total balance, plus an additional $100 Termination Fee, will be required.

Request for Services / Service Cancellation Requests

All new service accounts are required to fill out a Town of Darrington Utility Service Application. A $25.00 registration fee is due at that time.

Please contact Town Hall when you no longer require services or to provide closing or move-out information. Any previous balance on the property must be paid in full before the next customer requests service.

In order to shut-off or restore existing utility services at your home or property please fill out the Voluntary Water Shut-off/Restoration Waiver and Indemnification Agreement and submit to the Utilities Manager for processing. Once the form has been received, the Utilities Manager will contact you to make arrangements with the Utilities Supervisor.

**Inclement Weather Guide**

As winter draws near, Waste Management is preparing to serve Darrington during inclement weather. We’re committed to providing collection service when it is safe to do so. When unsafe road conditions prohibit us from providing service, we will proactively communicate with the town and with residents.

During inclement weather, we will post service updates on our Darrington specific service alert page. There is a link to our service alert page from Waste Management’s Darrington website (http://wmnorthwest.com/darrington/) or by visiting this link: http://54.186.43.3/darrington/.

When service days are missed, WM will collect missed materials on the customer’s next regular collection day.
