To set up utilities, you will need to visit City Hall, located at the corner of 15th and Senter. There is a $100.00 meter deposit that is charged for electrical and water connections and a $20.00 connect fee to have the meters read and placed in your name. Sometimes, people wonder why they have to pay the connect fee if the lights are already on. We leave the utilities on as a courtesy for property owners to protect against freezing and damage.
When moving, the deposit will either automatically transfer to your new Burlington Residence or be applied to your final bill. If any credit remains after your final bill, we will return the unused portion to you. Please make sure to provide us with a forwarding address.
