Start Service

Start Service

A deposit may be required to start services:

In general, payment of a deposit that is equal to two times the average monthly bill is required to start services.
The deposit is applied against any outstanding balance when the utility account is closed or refunded to the account after 12 months of good payment history.
Applicants for residential utility service can waive the deposit by providing a letter of reference from another utility company, which must show positive payments for 12 months, no returned checks, no disconnections, and no more than two late payments.
Applicants for non-residential utility services must pay a deposit before the utility service will be connected.

Fees may be assessed to turn services on:

Water turn on fee: $40
Water turn on fee after hours (after 3:30 pm): $80
Water read for change fee (transfer): $45
Gas turn on fee (next business day and beyond): $80
Gas turn on fee (same day): $140
Gas read for change fee (transfer): $50

Proof of Residence or Ownership to Start Service:

Applicants requesting utility service as an owner must provide proof of a settlement statement, deed, title or purchase agreement.
Applicants requesting utility service as a tenant must provide proof of a lease or a written letter of authorization from the owner of property, if a lease is not available.
