Hey there, fellow Yuma residents! If you’re like me, keeping track of utility bills can be a real headache sometimes. Today, I wanna talk about something that affects about 32,425 of us living in the Yuma area – paying our Far West Water & Sewer bills.
I’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help ya navigate all the payment options available Whether you’re tech-savvy or prefer traditional methods, Far West has got something that’ll work for your lifestyle
About Far West Water & Sewer, Inc.
Before diving into payment methods, lemme share a bit about our water provider. Far West Water & Sewer, Inc. has been serving our community since 1997. They get our water from two sources:
- Primary source: Canal A, coming from the Colorado River
- Secondary source: Groundwater system (for emergencies or when surface water isn’t available)
Far West Water provides quality water to us Yuma folks. In fact they received an A- rating (Excellent) in their Lead Report from 2019. This is the best-possible grade because the contaminants found in our water supply were better than the Public Health Goal and most other water providers analyzed. That’s some good news, right?
