Utilities by County: Setting Up Electric, Gas, Water, and Sewer in Utah
New to Utah and not sure who supplies the power, gas, and water at your new address? This guide lists the electric, natural gas, water, and sewer providers that serve each Utah county, with the websites and phone numbers residents use to set up service before move-in.
How Do I Set Up Utilities When I Move to Utah?
The setup process is similar across Utah, whether you are moving into a new build or a resale home. These five steps apply everywhere.
Start one to two weeks before move-in
Most providers can schedule a start date in advance, and some water districts require a signed service agreement plus processing time.
Have your new address and ID ready
Providers typically ask for the service address, your name, and identification such as a driver license or Social Security number.
Ask about deposits and transfer fees
Deposits vary by provider and credit history, and transfer fees are not universal. Ask each provider what applies before service starts.
Line up start dates with move-in
Tell each provider the date you need service and confirm it. If you are buying, coordinate the start date with your closing or possession date.
Keep old accounts open until the final meter read
Close the old account only after the final meter read and the final bill, so you are not left without service or billed twice.
Your address decides your providers. Utah is not a deregulated market: you do not choose your electric or gas company, the address does. The Utah Department of Commerce publishes a free Find My Utility tool that shows every provider for a specific property. Use it before you book anything, because territories change and a single county can have several providers.

Common Questions About Setting Up Utilities in Utah
Which utility companies serve Salt Lake County?
Most of Salt Lake County is served by Rocky Mountain Power for electricity and by Dominion Energy Utah, now operating as Enbridge Gas Utah, for natural gas. Murray operates its own city-owned electric utility, Murray City Power. Water and sewer are handled by your city or a district: the Salt Lake City Department of Utilities inside Salt Lake City, South Jordan City for Daybreak and South Jordan, and the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District for some unincorporated areas. Confirm your exact address with the Utah Department of Commerce Find My Utility tool.
Who provides electricity in Utah County?
It depends on the city. Provo is served by Provo City Power, and Lehi, Payson, Spanish Fork, and Springville each operate their own municipal power utilities. Most other Utah County cities, including Orem, American Fork, and Pleasant Grove, are served by Rocky Mountain Power. The South Utah Valley Electric Service District serves parts of southern Utah County. Check with the city or the Find My Utility tool to confirm the provider for a specific address.
How do I set up water service in Davis County?
Water is a city function in Davis County. Contact the utility billing office for the city that serves your new address, such as Bountiful City at 801-298-6100 or Centerville City at 801-292-8232. The cities purchase wholesale water from the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, so most homeowners are billed by their city rather than the district. If your home is outside a city or in an unincorporated area, confirm with the county which water company or improvement district serves the property.
Do I need to set up sewer separately?
Often not. In most Utah cities, sewer service is billed with your city utility account alongside water, and sometimes garbage. In Davis County, sewer is provided by the South Davis Sewer District in the south part of the county and the North Davis Sewer District in the north. In parts of Weber County, the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District handles sewer. Always confirm with your city which organization bills sewer for your address so you do not miss an account or pay the wrong agency.
How far ahead should I arrange utilities before moving?
Start one to two weeks before your move-in or closing date. Electric and gas providers can usually schedule a start date in advance, and some water districts, such as Mountain Regional Water in Summit County, require a signed service agreement and processing time. Ask each provider about deposits, transfer fees, and scheduling when you set up the account.
How do I find out which providers serve my exact address?
The Utah Department of Commerce publishes a free Find My Utility tool at commerce.utah.gov/ocs/find-my-utility/. Enter a property address to see the electric, gas, water, and sewer providers that serve it. The city utility billing office is the other reliable source, because most water and sewer systems in Utah are city-run.
Is there one natural gas company in Utah?
Yes. Dominion Energy Utah is the state regulated natural gas utility for most of Utah, and its Utah operations were acquired by Enbridge, so the service is now branded Enbridge Gas Utah. To start, stop, or transfer gas service, call 800-323-5517 or use the Dominion Energy Utah start and stop service page. For a gas emergency, call 800-767-1689.
