If you’re building a new home, certain applications must be completed before utility services can be established. Residential construction requirements may include documentation for standard service, irrigation meters, or mobile homes. Completing the correct forms early helps ensure your service setup stays on schedule. Below you’ll find forms for utility services for new home construction, a ⅝’’ irrigation meter, and utility services for your manufactured or mobile home:

Commercial construction projects require specific applications and supporting documentation to establish utility service. Depending on your project, this may include requirements for irrigation meters, temporary construction meters, or fire hydrant meters. Submitting complete and accurate information helps support a timely review and service connection.
