Once you have marked the location of your pointers, please call 206.684.3000 and give this information to a utility account representative. To permanently close your City Utility Account and end service with Seattle City Light, call 206.684.3000 or visit a City utility office listed under payment locations . The utility account representative will want your name, service address, evidence of electric meter reading and any final billing information. You can ask to discontinue electric service on the effective date if you are providing us with a meter reading you have obtained. Or you can notify us up to 15 days in advance if you are requesting that we read your meter or if you are willing to accept an estimated reading for your final bill.
Most residential customers receive a bill every two months.
The bill shows electric consumption for the billing period and the rate charged. The bill shows when winter and summer rates apply. If it would be easier for you to pay an average amount rather than have the amount vary from winter to summer, consider City Light's Average Payment Plan . Use of electricity is measured by a meter, usually located outside your house. See electric meter reading options .
