Sign Up for Utilities

Water, gas, garbage and sewer are City of Waukee-run utilities for most residents. Call Waukee Utility Billing at 515-978-5502 to start new service. For new construction, it is recommended that you call several days ahead of time to allow Utility Billing staff to check meters and order garbage and recycling containers for that address. Deposits are $50 each for gas and water for property owners and $100 each for renters.
Electricity can be activated by calling MidAmerican Energy at 1-888-427-5632 or by visiting www.midamericanenergy.com/moving.
