What Utilities Are Typical?

• Electricity: Most homes are serviced by Rocky Mountain Power. You’ll set up your account online or by phone, and billing is monthly.

• Water, Sewer, & Garbage: These services are managed by your city or municipality. Billing is usually combined and paid to your local city office.

Setting Up Your Utilities

• Contact your providers a few days before moving in to avoid service interruptions.
• Have your new address and move-in date handy when calling or applying online.
