What utilities should I set up before moving to Alexandria?

When relocating to Alexandria, you’ll need to arrange for electricity, water, sewer, natural gas (if applicable), and internet/phone service. The city’s utility providers are listed on the municipal website, where you can create new accounts or transfer existing ones. It’s advisable to contact each provider at least two weeks before your move-in date to avoid service gaps. Additionally, set up trash collection through the city’s public works department, which typically follows a regular schedule based on your address. For renters, confirm with your landlord which utilities are included in the rent and which you’ll be responsible for.
