New Sewer and Water Connections

The Utilities branch is responsible for reading meters, billing and collection for water and sewer services, processing of requests for connection and disconnection of service, handling of complaints related to utility billings and defective meters, and arrangements for house connections.

Connections and Disconnections

In most cases, changes to your utilities services can be accomplished with one phone call. In general, anyone that currently has a utilities or tax account with the City can phone in and have connections, location changes, and disconnections accomplished by making a call to Customer Service at 306-694-4410. Please be aware you may be asked for verification of identity when making the change.

Persons that have not previously had a utility or tax account with the City are required to come to Customer Service at City Hall and fill out an application for service. A deposit may be required where the application for connection is for a location that is rented.

If you are moving either out of the City of Moose Jaw or to a new location within the City you need to contact Customer Service at City Hall. Your meter will be read on the date you have requested and a final bill will be mailed to you. The account holder(s) is/are responsible for all bills for the service address until you terminate service. The City of Moose Jaw will only recognize payment arrangements made directly with Utility Department staff.

Landlord Tenant Agreement

Landlord Tenant Agreements are available for water and sewer accounts. This agreement is available to landlords wishing to have their name put on the accounts when tenants move out. The agreement is a one-time $45.00 charge and the account will automatically transfer into the landlord’s name each time a tenant leaves without the normal $45.00 connection fee. This continues until the landlord chooses to cancel the agreement. For more information call Customer Service at 306-694-4410.

  • W.I.P.P.S – (automatic monthly payments withdrawn directly from the customer’s bank account)
