Retail Water Rates
Jordan Valley Water uses a tiered water rate system, meaning the rate you pay is determined by the amount of water you use. As water use increases, so does the cost per thousand gallons. Each meter size has four pricing tiers as shown in the tables below. Most single-family homes have 3/4" meters, but you can verify your meter size by checking your water bill.
Water Rates Per 1,000 Gallons
| Rate Area | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 | Tier 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Rate | $1.70 | $2.58 | $4.20 | $5.19 |
| Riverton Foothills - Pumped Zone Surcharge* | $0.17 | $0.17 | $0.17 | $0.17 |
| Casto/Upper Willow Creek - Pumped Zone Surcharge* | $0.75 | $0.75 | $0.75 | $0.75 |
*Pump zone surcharges are being unbundled from the rates beginning in the 2024/2025 fiscal year.
