I’m moving from out of state and need to know the basics.
What utilities should I set up before moving to Moscow?
1 Answer
When moving to Moscow, you’ll need to arrange electricity, natural gas (if applicable), water, sewer, and internet/phone service. The city’s public works department lists the primary utility providers and offers online account setup. It’s advisable to contact them at least two weeks before your move to schedule activation dates and avoid service gaps. If you’re renting, ask the landlord which utilities are included in the rent and whether any fees are covered by the property management.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Moscow.
