Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Monthly utility billing. AutoPay runs on the statement due date; recurring payment permits a selected day and amount, while Level Pay averages the prior 12 months and true-ups annually.
- Rate structure
- Municipal fixed monthly residential water charges with metered and non-metered schedules. The City's FY2026 financial report lists a monthly residential water rate of approximately $48.70; exact meter-size and usage tables are maintained in City code and fee resolutions. Wastewater is separately fixed plus metered, at $2.68 per 1,000 gallons, a $4.28 base fee and a $0.15 Idaho DEQ fee on the current wastewater page.
- Residential cost reference
- The City's FY2026 financial reporting lists a $48.70 monthly residential water rate and $25.00 monthly residential wastewater rate, or approximately $73.70 before usage-dependent wastewater, sanitation, fiber, taxes or other utility components. The exact 5,000-7,000 gallon total depends on the applicable water-meter schedule and account bundle.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Idaho Falls metered wastewater is charged $2.68 per 1,000 gallons of metered water, plus a $4.28 base fee and $0.15 Idaho DEQ fee. Non-metered residential wastewater is listed at $26.25 base plus the $0.15 DEQ fee. The reviewed pages do not state a winter-average cap.
- Meter reading
- Idaho Falls serves more than 26,400 water accounts and maintains 21 wells and more than 345 miles of main. The reviewed pages do not identify the meter fleet's AMI/AMR technology or a fixed read schedule; customers can view current invoices and past payments in the portal.
- Activation or transfer fee
- The Utility Billing Division handles connects, disconnects, transfers and water turn-on/off. Current residential activation and transfer amounts were not exposed; new water and wastewater connection fees vary by service size and are maintained in City fee resolutions.
