Download the Residential Application for Utility Services. Fill it out and bring it in with a State Issued ID Card to the Utilities Office at the Santa Clara Town Hall, located at 2603 Santa Clara Drive.
***There is a $50.00 administrative fee and a $200.00 deposit required.
Santa Clara City provides power and water. The City also bills sewer and garbage services. Anyone needing utility services must fill out an application for service. A deposit of $200.00 and an administration fee of $50.00 is assessed with each application. This deposit will be refunded when the service is terminated and the bill is paid in full or it will be applied to the final bill.
NEW! Equal Pay is now available for Santa Clara Residents.
Residential customers can now take the guesswork out of budgeting your utility bill. Hot summers, cold winters. Sometimes it is hard to predict what your utility bill will be each month. An equal pay plan will average your previous 12 months billing, and you make twelve equal monthly payments based on the average. This plan is only available with Auto Pay Electronic Funds Transfers and allows you to better budget your financial affairs. You know exactly how much will be deducted from your bank account each month.
If you would like to participate in the City’s Equal Pay Plan, please stop by our office at 2603 Santa Clara Drive to complete an application.
