Families in Ferndale, Whatcom County, are facing skyrocketing water bills reaching hundreds of dollars, leaving residents frustrated and seeking answers.

Many residents have contacted KIRO 7, expressing confusion and anger over the increasing costs without clear explanations from the city.

Despite KIRO 7’s attempts to get answers, city officials have not been available to discuss the issue.

“Our water bill this month was about $788,” Nicole Crow said, highlighting the financial strain on her family.

“People are getting mad. The bills keep going up and up, and there’s no rhyme or reason for how they’re billing,” a resident explained.
