Setting Up Service
To set up water and sewer services you will need to submit the following:
-Copy of your driver’s license or other government issued photo ID
– Statutory Warranty Deed if you own/purchased the home, or a Rental Agreement if you are a renter.
– Pay the $120 deposit. If you are a home owner, the deposit will be credited back to your utility account after making on-time payments for one year. If you are a renter, the deposit will remain on your account until you move out, and then is applied to your FINAL bill. Remaining credit balances will be refunded and mailed.
Your application can be submitted via email to bhutley@jeffersonoregon.org, or stop by
City Hall in person with all of the required information. City Hall is open Mon-Fri

Service can be started Monday – Friday (excluding holidays). A deposit of $120 is required at time service is started. An application can be obtained by email, fax, or in person at City Hall. Picture ID is also required with either a rental agreement or a warranty deed.

Suspending service temporarily
If you want to suspend your service temporarily, such as during an extended vacation, you may elect to “Snowbird” your account. You may also do the same if your home is for sale and no one is living in it. Service must be suspended for a
minimum of 30 days to be eligible to Snowbird.
Only the water portion of your bill will be suspended. Sewer and storm water charges will continue to accrue each month at the base rate, along with late fees on delinquent balances.
