Local picture
Check your bill before you call the utility
South Salt Lake supplies water, sewer and stormwater service to its residents, but the city notes that some homes get water or sewer from other providers, including Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, Salt Lake City Public Utilities and Mt. Olympus Improvement District (city page). The name on your utility bill tells you whom to call about a break or a backup.
The city's wastewater division sends sewage to the Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility, and Mt. Olympus Improvement District serves the area south of 3300 South (wastewater page).
