Utility Billing
How to read your Utility Statement
To assist customers in better understanding their utility statements, the City has created a guide for how to read your statement.
Utility Billing Assistance Program
The City has partnered with Community Action Partners of Ramsey and Washington County (CAPRW) to provide assistance on utility billing invoices for residents of Forest Lake to those who qualify. For more information, please see the flyer link below with contact information. CAPRW administers the program and determines eligibility.
Moving in and moving out
It’s important that residents notify the City as early as possible for moving out or moving into a property within the cities limits. We would like to make sure that we get all the information we need to make this transition smooth. Those moving out should make sure that the City has their forwarding address so that any invoices or refund checks can be sent to the correct location.
See methods below for options on how to pay your utility bill.
