In Orem, electricity is provided by Rocky Mountain Power, natural gas by Dominion Energy, and water, sewer, and trash by Orem City Public Works. Set up utilities one to two weeks before closing so service is live the day you receive keys.
Who provides what in Orem
Electricity: Rocky Mountain Power. Natural gas: Dominion Energy. Water, sewer, garbage, and recycling: Orem City Public Works. Internet has multiple options including Google Fiber, Xfinity, CenturyLink, and UTOPIA depending on address.
Order to set things up
Once you are under contract, set a calendar reminder for 10 business days before closing. That is when you call Rocky Mountain Power, Dominion Energy, and Orem City Utility Billing to schedule transfers. Internet self-installation typically takes 1–2 weeks to ship equipment, so start it sooner.
Sellers: when to shut off
Do not shut off utilities at closing. Keep power, gas, and water active for at least 24 hours after possession so the buyer's final walk-through and move-in work. Schedule shut-offs for the next business day in your name.
Common Orem gotchas
