Water

River water, filtered

Fruitland pumps its water from the Payette River to a treatment plant that runs it through a micro-membrane filtration system. The city has six wells, but its 2025 report says it didn't use them to supply water that year, and the water page says they're kept on active reserve for emergencies. Storage is a 200,000-gallon elevated tank plus 1,000,000- and 1,200,000-gallon ground tanks with booster pumps.

The 2025 report shows lead at 5 ppb at the 90th percentile and copper at 0.395 ppm, with no sites over either action level. It doesn't give a hardness figure. The city has a service line inventory; Public Works at 208-452-7946 can look up a specific address.

Homes

Newer homes, many mobile

The median Fruitland home was built in 1994, and about 38% date from 2000 or later. About 20% are mobile homes, where federal rules call for water heaters listed for manufactured-home use. About 30% of households rent. Gas heats about 57% of homes and electricity about 40%.

The city's building page lists a 10°F winter design temperature and an air freezing index of 1,155, so a heater in an unheated garage or crawlspace works harder in January.

Permits

State plumbing permits, Hardin pickup

Fruitland's building page says all plumbing and electrical permits come from the State of Idaho. That's the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, whose inspector list covers the 83619 ZIP code; call DOPL at 208-334-3233. The city's own building department handles building permits.

In 2021 the city council adopted a garbage hauler franchise with Hardin Sanitation. Hardin does special pickups of oversized items, like an old tank, for an added fee; call 208-642-2629.
