Save and Lower Your Electric Bills
Upgrading your water heater is one of the easiest ways to save energy at home. For a limited time, you can pay as little as $169 before tax for a new Rheem or AO Smith heat pump water heater when you order through the Clark Public Utilities online marketplace. Choose a 50-, 65-, or 80-gallon model and we’ll apply your utility rebate instantly. Your new water heater ships straight to your home at no cost, no forms to fill out and no waiting for reimbursement.
If your home has an electric water heater, switching to a heat pump model is a smart investment. Water heating is usually the second largest energy user in most homes, and a heat pump water heater can cut those costs by up to 70 percent.
To qualify for the rebate, customers must replace an existing electric water heater and install the new unit within 90 days of delivery, in addition to other qualifications. Professional installation is recommended.

Prevent Dangerous Dig Ins
Before you start digging by hand, shovel or heavy equipment, call 811 at least two days ahead. Utility crews will visit your property to mark underground lines using color coded, water soluble paint. The service is free and helps prevent dangerous and costly damage to buried gas, power, orcommunication lines.
Always call, even for small projects like planting shrubs or trees. Some utility lines may be only a few inches deep, and property owners are responsible for any damage or injury. Call 811 before you dig—it’s the law.
Free Advice and Home Energy Reviews
Energy Counselors offer tips to reduce utility bills, learn about weatherization and cut energy waste. They’ll answer your questions and offer objective, up-to-date advice on which energy measures will be of best benefit to you and which ones won’t. To talk with an energy counselor or schedule an in-home energy review, please call 360-992-3355 Monday-Friday during business hours.
Be Alert for Utility Scammers
Scammers sometimes pose as utility workers to steal personal or financial information, or gain access to homes or businesses. Here are ways to protect yourself:
Clark Public Utilities employees always wear branded clothing, carry employee ID cards, and drive clearly marked vehicles. If someone visits your home unexpectedly, close the door and call 360-992-3000to confirm the visit. Our employees will never mind you checking and won’t pressure you to exit your home or allow them inside before verification.
Scammers may also spoof caller ID to display “Clark Public Utilities” or a utility phone number. They may sound professional and ask you to call another number or buy gift cards to pay an “overdue” bill. These calls are fraudulent.
Email scams are common, too. Messages may look official and urge you to click a link or call a number about an urgent account problem. Instead of clicking, type www.clarkpublicutilities.com directly into your browser and log in to MyAccount, or call 360-992-3000 directly. Customer service is available 24 hours a day to assist.

Protect Our Water Supply
Your sprinkler, drip system, or irrigation setup must have a working backflow prevention device to protect our shared drinking water supply. These devices stop contaminated water from flowing backward into the system if something goes wrong.
State law requires backflow preventers to be installed in all irrigation and watering systems, and inspected every year by a certified tester. Spring is a great time to schedule your inspection before regular watering begins.
