If you're living on campus you don't have to worry too much about utilities for those living in town it may be a different situation. Utilities are the services that make a home livable, like water, electricity, gas, internet, and sometimes trash collection. When you move into a new place, you usually need to sign up for these services yourself, so the lights turn on, water runs, and you can stay connected online. Paying for utilities on time is important because they keep your home comfortable and safe. If you don’t pay, the service can be shut off, which could leave you in the dark, cold, or without water.
Water, sewer, and sanitation, you may need to register with the City of Riverton.
