Website Update
Our online payment and billing services are now operational. If you use our web bill pay portal, you will be prompted to re-register your account. Because our billing systems were offline for a few weeks, some customers may receive bills that cover multiple months' worth of charges.
If you need payment assistance, please reach out to our Customer Service Department at (760) 955-5001. We will not charge late fees, nor will we enact any utility shutoffs through the end of December 2023. We apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your patience while we worked through the technical issues affecting our systems.
