What New Homeowners Need to Know Before Moving In

If you’re thinking about moving to Incline Village or are in the process of buying a home here, one of the first practical questions you’ll encounter is: Who provides utilities, and how do I set them up?

Incline Village utilities are structured a bit differently than in other cities, with a mix of community-wide districts and regional providers. Knowing who to contact, what services they provide, and how setup works will make your move much smoother.

Below is a breakdown of the major utility providers that service Incline Village, what they do, and tips for setting up service before or after closing.

Water & Sewer — Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID)

The main utility provider for water and sewer in Incline Village is the Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID). This local public utility district manages safe drinking water, wastewater collection, and treatment for homes and businesses in Incline Village and Crystal Bay. 

Services provided:

• Drinking water

• Sewer

• IVGID Public Works: (775) 832-1203 

Pro tip: Water and sewer are usually transferred automatically through escrow when you buy a home, but it’s smart to confirm with your title company or Realtor to ensure the transfer is completed. 

Electricity — NV Energy

Electricity throughout Incline Village is provided by NV Energy, the primary power provider for northern Nevada.

NV Energy (Northern Nevada): (775) 834-4444

Electric usage can vary throughout the year, especially in winter when heating demands increase, so it’s a good idea to set up service before closing so power is active when you move in.

Natural Gas — Southwest Gas

Natural gas service in Incline Village is handled by Southwest Gas.

Southwest Gas: 877-860-6020 

Not all properties in Incline Village use natural gas; some homes rely on electric systems or propane. Always verify gas availability for a specific property before purchase.

Trash & Recycling — Waste Management

Trash and recycling services in Incline Village are managed through IVGID and contracted to Waste Management, Inc. This includes regular curbside trash pickup and access to local transfer stations for larger items and recycling.

Waste Management: (775) 831-2971

Internet, Cable & Phone Providers

Internet and telecommunications can vary depending on your specific address, but the most common providers serving Incline Village include: 

• Charter / Spectrum — Cable TV, high-speed internet, phone (888) 438-2427

• AT&T — DSL / fiber internet and phone service (888) 288-2020

• Dish Network — Satellite TV (888) 825-2557

• DIRECTV — Satellite TV (888) 795-9489

• Starlink — Satellite internet for rural or hard-to-serve locations

Availability of fiber or high-speed plans can vary by street, it’s worth checking availability directly through provider websites once you have an address.

Utility Setup Tips for Incline Village Buyers

Here are a few practical tips to make your utility transition smoother:

Start Before Closing

Reach out to providers at least one week before closing to ensure services are ready when you take possession of your home. 

Confirm Escrow Transfers

Water, sewer, and trash accounts through IVGID typically transfer during escrow, but you should confirm this with your title company or Realtor.

Use Online Accounts

Set up online billing and automatic payments where available to avoid missing payments during a busy move.

Verify Provider Availability

Especially for internet and cable services, check real availability at the home’s address before closing so you’re not surprised after moving in.

Why Incline Village Utilities Are Unique

Incline Village’s utility structure, especially with IVGID handling water, sewer, and trash, differs from many other cities where services are managed by multiple independent companies. The community approach helps maintain the village’s infrastructure and environment, which is a big part of why so many people love living here.
