FAQ
What is sewer?
The terms "sewer," "sewage," or "wastewater" refers to all the used water and water-borne waste that is generated in your home or business. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, wastewater from toilets, tubs/showers, sinks, washing machines, garbage disposals and dishwashers.
This wastewater is carried from your home to the wastewater treatment plant where it is treated, disinfected, and discharged into the Boise River.
For a better understanding of the costs associated with the wastewater collection and treatment process, please review the annual budget and service revenue pie-chart under the "Financials" section of this website.
How much is the sewer service fee?
A residential unit pays a flat fee of $26 per month. Commercial accounts can pay much more depending upon the size and type of business.
How often does Eagle Sewer District bill?
The District runs the billing once per month. The District bills the first week of the month, for that month. If the account has a zero balance, or if the customer is signed up for automatic payment, no billing statement is produced.
May I pay for several months at a time?
Many customers pay on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. The billing statement will reflect a credit balance with a negative sign in front of the amount shown on the bill.
How do I sign up for Automatic Payments?
Under Forms you will find a one-page document that you can print. Complete the form, attach a voided check from your checking account, and return the form and voided check to the office of Eagle Sewer District. The Eagle Sewer District runs the automatic debit accounts with the bank on or near the 15th of each month.
Who has jurisdiction over Eagle Sewer District?
The Eagle Sewer District receives its operating authority from Idaho State Code, Chapter 32, Sections 43-3201 through 42-3238. An elected Board of Directors governs the District. The Board meets on the second Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the office of Eagle Sewer District. All meetings are open to the public. Current Agendas and Meeting Minutes are available elsewhere on the website.
Why is there an Eagle Sewer District levy on my property tax bill?
Eagle Sewer District operates almost exclusively on user fees. The small amount you see levied on your property tax bill is split between the District's Operation and Maintenance costs and the property and administrative liability insurance.
Why is the Eagle Sewer District separate from the City of Eagle?
Eagle Sewer District was formed in 1963 responding to a need for central sewer service. The City of Eagle was not incorporated until 1971. Eagle Sewer District has investigated combining the two entities, but the District's Board of Directors has elected to keep the District separate.
How do I get service from Eagle Sewer District?
A prerequisite to getting sewer service is that the property must be annexed into the Eagle Sewer District's taxing boundaries. An annexation petition can be found under the Forms section. It is a good idea to visit the Eagle Sewer District's office to look at the sewer line maps before requesting annexation. The petitioner is required to install-at their cost--the collection system needed to extend sewer service to their property.
