For Your Protection

The Indio Water Authority is committed to providing superior customer service. Therefore, when establishing water service(s) the Indio Water Authority has adopted a stringent program to protect our customers from identity theft. Only the primary applicant listed on the Indio Water Authority Contract to start water service will have access to the account billing and payment information. Therefore, if you would like to have a spouse or relative have access to your utility account billing and payment information, please add that person as a secondary applicant on your application or fill out an Authorized Signer Form and fax to 760-391-6440.
