Electric

An electric-heat town

Census data shows about 81% of Marsing homes heat with electricity, about 6% with propane and about 7% with fuel oil, and no measurable share with utility gas. The city's resident page lists Idaho Power but no gas company. When an electric water heater goes cold, the usual causes are a tripped high-limit reset, a burned-out element or a failed thermostat.

If the breaker trips again right after you reset it, leave it off and call a plumber.

Water

Four wells

Marsing's water comes from four groundwater wells. The city's 2024 report shows nitrate at 1.7 ppm, under the 10 ppm limit, and trace disinfection by-products, with no violations. It doesn't give a hardness figure. Questions go to the city's water specialist at 208-249-8578.

Water costs $66.48 a month for the first 2,000 gallons on a 3/4-inch meter, then $3.49 per 1,000 gallons, and sewer is billed on the same usage. A relief valve that keeps dripping into a drain adds to both.

Homes

1970s homes, many renters

The median Marsing home was built in 1973, and only about 4% date from 2000 or later. About 74% are detached houses and about 5% are mobile homes. About 43% of households rent, so tenants should report a failing heater to the landlord first.
