Soda Springs has two of its hydroelectric plants and a contract with Bonneville Power that allows it to provide electricity at a rate 30% lower than those outside of Soda Springs have to pay through Rocky Mountain Power. Soda Springs provides its water, sewer, and garbage flat monthly, making it easy to anticipate your average monthly bill. For those who have lived in the same residence for over a year, you can call in the spring to set up your Utilities Account on a level pay.
