California note
Redding utilities are mostly under one city roof
First check whether City of Redding Utilities serves the address. The city runs electric, water, wastewater, storm-drain, and solid-waste divisions. Its move forms work only for a city utility service site. A Redding address alone does not mean that every city utility serves it.
For a move-in, use the start-service path through Utility Accounts. For a move-out, use the online account to stop service. A transfer works only when both the old and new addresses are served by City of Redding Utilities.
Give the city at least one working day’s notice. A same-day request made after 11 a.m. carries a priority-service fee. Storm-drain work is one of the city’s utility functions, but it is not a household account that you separately start or stop.
A deposit may be due at each service address. It is based on twice the expected average combined bill. A current minimum may apply. Customers can usually split the deposit over the first four bills. Keep both addresses and the change date handy. Call Utility Customer Service if the online account does not match the move.
