Applicant name.
Social Security number or other accepted government ID number.
Accepted identification document.
Service and mailing addresses.
Phone and email information.
Date of birth.

All-services example: if every listed residential deposit applies, plus the electric, gas and water connection charges and the $11 administrative fee, the published amounts total $691 before applicable privilege tax and before any same-day fee. Most households will not necessarily receive every City utility service, so treat this only as a planning example.

Canceling Service

Who Actually Provides Utilities at a Mesa Address?

This is one of the most important local distinctions. The City of Mesa does not provide every utility service to every property under the same geographic boundary.

Electric

Mesa’s municipal electric utility serves more than 18,000 customers in an approximately 5.5-square-mile area centered around downtown Mesa. Many Mesa addresses outside that area receive electricity from SRP.

Natural gas

Mesa provides natural gas to more than 82,000 homes and businesses. Its service territory includes Mesa plus the separate Magma area extending into Queen Creek, San Tan Valley and Pinal County.

Water & wastewater

The City describes water and wastewater as citywide utility services, although actual infrastructure and service boundaries should still be confirmed for a specific property.

Solid waste

Trash and recycling are also city utility services. Collection questions, missed barrels and barrel changes use separate sanitation requests rather than the billing portal.

Moving to Mesa? verify each provider before assuming the same company handles electricity, gas, water and trash. Mesa’s GIS includes separate electric, natural-gas, sewer and water service-area maps.
Official service-area mapping

City of Mesa GIS Utility Maps

  1. Open the Utilities section of the City GIS.
  2. Select the service-area map you need: electric, natural gas, sewer or water.
  3. Use the map to understand the approximate service territory.
  4. Confirm provider responsibility with the City before opening an account or scheduling construction work.

Mesa says eligible residential customers with an outstanding balance may qualify for a payment arrangement by calling 480-644-2221.

June 1-Aug. 31 Enrollment period for customers with gas service only.
Nov. 1-Jan. 31 Enrollment period for customers with multiple City utility services.
12 months Required utility-billing history at the residence.
