There's no single place to find out who provides your water, who picks up your trash, or which internet options you have. So we made one. WHO IT'S FOR Movers setting up utilities at a new home. Realtors preparing utility info for buyers. Property managers onboarding tenants. House flippers scoping a new property. Anyone who just needs to know who provides what. HOW IT WORKS Type any U.S. address. We check federal and municipal data sources to identify the providers serving that exact location.
