Alta Municipal Utilities

04/29/2026

Alta Municipal Utilities is currently in the process of some infrastructure improvements as part of our efforts to enhance service and reliability and to reduce outages. We are transitioning from overhead to underground electric lines and will be installing underground cables in the utility easements on or near your properties. Most of this project is occurring on the east side of Alta. You may notice service equipment being used and/or installed in your area. Our crews and contractors will work to minimize disruption and restore affected properties to original condition once the project is complete. During construction, there may be brief outages or limited access near where crews are working. We'll try to give you advance notice whenever possible. Thank you for your patience while we make these upgrades.
