Utility Division

The utility division is located in the heart of City Hall. It handles the billing services for water, sewer, sanitation charges and irrigation assessments. The utility division consists of three employees: the Utility Supervisor, Senior Account Clerk, and an Account Clerk. The utility division is also the call center for City Hall and will be able to assist with most questions you have.

Start Service

Residential

The City of Jerome requires a new service application to be filled out in person. The items that are required are: Proof of Purchase paperwork, a United States issued ID (e.g. driver's license, state ID card), a valid Social Security number and a $120 cash or credit deposit. All three items are required at time of application. New service is scheduled between the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Once you have made one year of on-time monthly payments you will receive your deposit back as a credit on your utility bill. Bills are mailed out on the 1st of each month and due the 15th of the same month. Residential deposits are broken down as follows:

  • Sanitation - $15
  • Sewer - $70
  • Water - $35

Jerome City Codes (13.28.050) and Ordinances 1093,1100,1101 require all utility billings (water, sewer, sanitation) to be established in the real property owners name only.

All three items are required at the time of application.
