In the weeks and months ahead, the department will be working internally and externally to bring forth a seamless consolidation process to best serve our customers. Details and regular updates will be shared here.
Residents and businesses should remain confident that water, sewer and natural gas services and billing will continue as normal without interruption.
The department unveiled a new logo and branding in January. Read more here.
A new website will soon launch at lbutilities.org, combining water and sewer information currently at lbwater.org with natural gas content currently at longbeach.gov/energyresources. In the interim, customers can continue to find information on the two existing websites.
