MESSAGE FROM MAYOR KLING

City of Nampa residents recently received communication in the mail from an independent company called Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA). The introduction of this program was approved by the City of Nampa with the intent to raise awareness of the homeowner's responsibility and provide an option for coverage. Many homeowners are not aware they are responsible for certain repairs such as those to their water service and sewer/septic lines on their private property and are not prepared to handle the high costs of unexpected water service or sewer/septic line breakdowns.

We have a large city, with a number of homes that were built over 25 years ago and may have failing pipes and need this help. Because not every insurance company offers this program, we supported the opportunity to help educate residents.

We encourage every household to double-check their coverage with their insurance agent.

The intention in providing this option came out of a number of unfortunate stories we heard from Nampa residents who did not know it was their responsibility and spent thousands of dollars to repair/replace their utility lines since they did not have this type of insurance coverage. While SLWA is a national program, they engage local contractors when repair services are needed.

We hope residents will take this opportunity to research the best insurance options for their household in the event the utility lines on their property need to be repaired or replaced.

-Mayor Debbie Kling

IMPORTANT REMINDER for our Utility Customers

The City of Nampa will officially switch to a new utility billing website for our customers on November 21, 2022. The existing utility payment system used is being phased out and an update is needed. The new electronic billing and payment portal costs less, provides additional options for customers and is more user-friendly.

Unfortunately, we are unable to copy customer debit/credit card information to the new system. Customers who currently have auto-payment set up on the utility billing website using a debit or credit card must enter payment information into the new customer website before November 21, 2022 to avoid late payments or future shut-offs.

In order for this to be a smooth transition for those who pay online, customers are asked to set up their new account before November 21 at https://nampa.billingdoc.net.
