Reconnect fee |
Utility Billing Guidelines list reconnect fee as $43.00. |
Ask if reconnection applies before paying a past-due balance. |
After-hours turn on |
Guidelines list after-hours turn-on fee as $45.00. |

Leak check form
The official request can confirm if the meter has flow at the time of the check. If flow is confirmed, that may indicate a leak.
It does not locate the leak
The form says it cannot identify where water is leaking. You may still need a plumber, irrigation technician or property-side repair.
Processing time
The leak check request may take up to 48 hours to process. Weekend/holiday selected dates are completed the next business day.
High-bill clue |
Likely issue |
What to check before calling |
|---|---|---|
Water and sewer both increased |
Domestic water consumption may be higher because sewer charges are based on water use. |
Compare current usage to prior bill, check toilets, faucets, water softener, outside taps, and irrigation mistakes. |
Used house water on lawn |
Domestic water used for irrigation increases water and sewer charges. |
Nampa says adjustments are not provided if domestic water is used to irrigate. |
Irrigation leak |
Property-side sprinkler/service line may be leaking. |
Check sprinkler box programming, zones, curb stop area, soggy lawn and irrigation filter. |
Meter shows flow with everything off |
Possible leak or fixture running. |
Submit leak check request and inspect toilets, crawlspace, garage, hose bibs and softeners. |
Water Emergency, No Water, Low Pressure or Repair Shutoff

Nampa Irrigation: Districts, Season, Pressure and Curb Stops
2026 irrigation timing
Irrigation districts begin releasing water into canals early to mid-April. City of Nampa irrigation customers can expect full pressure by early May, subject to system work and water availability.
Where it comes from
Most Nampa irrigation water comes through canals from Lucky Peak. Pioneer Irrigation District and Nampa Meridian Irrigation District manage most canals and ditches in Nampa.
City pressurized irrigation
In many subdivisions, Nampa Waterworks is responsible for pressurized irrigation pump stations, water main lines and curb stop valves.

Who fixes service line after curb stop? |
The service line between curb stop and sprinkler head belongs to the property owner. |
