Three ways Eagle homes get water

The City of Eagle says water comes from one of two suppliers depending on location: the City of Eagle Water Department, which serves about 3,400 households, or Veolia (formerly SUEZ). Some properties still run on a private well and septic system.

If you're on a well, mention it when you call. Well systems can send sand or sediment into the tank, and low or surging pressure from the well pump can look like a water heater problem when it isn't.

Newer homes

Original heaters reaching their limit

The median Eagle home was built in 2007, and about 43% were built in 2010 or later. Heaters installed with those homes are now 10 to 18 years old, which is the end of the usual 8 to 12 year life for a tank.

About 79% of homes heat with gas. On gas heaters, the common failures are the pilot or igniter, the thermocouple or flame sensor, and the gas control valve.

Winter

Boise-area winters

NOAA's Boise Airport station averages about 108 nights a year at or below freezing, January lows near 26°F and about 18 inches of snow. Colder water coming in makes the heater work longer, which is when a tired part gives out.

Questions

Eagle water heater questions

Who is the gas company in Eagle, ID?

Intermountain Gas lists Eagle among the communities it serves. If you smell gas, leave first, call 911 from outside, then Intermountain at 800-548-3679.

I'm on a private well. Does that matter for my water heater?

It can. Wells can carry sand or sediment into the tank, and well pump pressure problems can look like heater trouble. Tell the plumber you're on a well.

Who supplies water in Eagle?

Depending on your location, the City of Eagle Water Department or Veolia (formerly SUEZ). Some properties use private wells.

My water heater came with the house in 2008. Repair or replace?

At around 17 years, replacement is usually the better value, especially if it's leaking, rusty or noisy. A young heater with one bad part is usually worth repairing.
