What utilities should I set up before moving to Brookings?

Before moving, you’ll need to arrange electricity, water, natural gas (if applicable), and internet/television services. The city’s public works department lists the primary electric and water providers, and you can set up accounts online or by phone. For broadband, several regional carriers offer fiber, cable, and satellite options; their websites let you check service availability at your address. It’s a good idea to schedule service activation a few days before your arrival to avoid any gap. If you rent, your landlord may already have certain utilities included, so confirm what’s covered in the lease.
