Utilities

WATER and SEWER
McCall's water and sewer system is owned and operated by the City of McCall. The existing water system draws from Payette Lake and has been upgraded since the city passed a bond issue in 1993 to provide safe drinking water. 208-634-7867. The City of Donnelly handles the sewer and water in that city. 208-325-8859. Most areas outside the city limits are on individual wells.

PROPANE
Since natural gas is not available in this area, some residents have opted to use propane gas for heating and/or cooking needs.

There are three companies servicing this area. Each requires an application to be filed either in person or by mail. There is a set-up fee, which varies according to size of tank, and length of pipe and fittings. Propane tanks are available for purchase or yearly rental.
