YOUR New Bill Statement is Here - View a Sample Here

The City of Huntington Beach has upgraded its utility billing system and along with a newly designed billing statement, we have also updated your account number. During this process, new account numbers were generated for all of our customers. Be assured, we have retained your old account number in our system to make payments and other transactions seamless for you, with a few exceptions. However, we recommend you update your records and start using your new account number now. You will find your new account number printed on your current bill statement. We appreciate your patience during the transition. If you have questions or concerns, you can contact Huntington Beach customer service at 714-536-5919 (option 9).

New Bill Statement

To better serve our customers, the City of Huntington Beach has upgraded its utility billing software and redesigned our utility bill. The same information that was on previous bills - including an account summary, a detailed breakdown of current charges, and a water consumption graph - appears in this new format. Important messages about your service will appear in the several locations on your bill. A sample of your new bill is on the reverse side of this insert.

If you were a registered user of the City Utilities payment website or online account management, you will need to re-register using your new customer and account number which can be found on your newly designed bill statement. The web site is https://utilities.huntingtonbeachca.gov/Home.aspx
