CITY OF TULARE WILL RESUME WATER SHUT-OFFS IN AUGUST

The City of Tulare is issuing notices to residential customers that water shut-offs will resume in August.

The City of Tulare halted water shut-offs because of the state moratorium on water shut-offs and because of the economic impacts of the pandemic.

Beginning August 3, all past due balances that are more than 60 days delinquent need to be paid to avoid any future shut-offs.

The City of Tulare understands that many residents are experiencing financial challenges as a result of the pandemic. The City of Tulare is offering flexible payment agreements to help residents avoid shut-offs. If you have and questions, or to go over payment options, please contact utility billing at 559-684-4260.  The utility billing window is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at City Hall, 411 E.
