Washington Municipal Utilities Warns of Phone Scam

Washington Municipal Utilities is warning customers about a phone scam.

The utility says customers are getting calls from someone demanding a utility payment over the phone — and those calls are NOT from Washington Municipal Utilities.

You may get an automated call if your account is past due, but the utility says it does NOT demand payment over an unsolicited call.

If you get a call, don’t provide personal or payment information.

Ask who you’re speaking with, hang up, and call Washington Municipal Utilities directly to check your account.
