Setting Up Utilities in Fort Mill

Duke Energy Carolinas is the main electric provider across the Fort Mill area. You can start, stop, or transfer service through Duke Energy's website or by phone, and you will typically need your new address and a move-in date.

Some areas near the edges of the county are served by the York Electric Cooperative instead, so confirm your address's provider before assuming.

Inside much of Fort Mill, the Town of Fort Mill Utilities Department handles water distribution and wastewater collection. Start service, set up billing, and report issues through the town.

Outside the town's service area, water and sewer can come from one of the county's other providers, such as a community water system or a utility district. York County publishes which providers serve which areas, so check the county utility information page with your new address.

Ask your landlord or seller which provider serves the property before you move, and open the account with their account number or the address itself.

Gas service is not universal: many Fort Mill homes heat with electricity, while some neighborhoods have natural gas hookups. Confirm with the seller or landlord whether the home has gas, and who the supplier is, before you assume a gas bill.

Fiber options vary street by street: cable internet is widely available through providers like Spectrum, and fiber reaches many neighborhoods through providers like Comporium and AT&T, with availability growing.

Use each provider's availability tool with your full street address, not just your ZIP code, since neighborhoods vary block to block. Ask the seller or neighbors what they use and how reliable it has been.

Trash and recycling collection in Fort Mill is arranged through the Town of Fort Mill within its service area; some communities and HOA-managed properties arrange their own haulers. Confirm the pickup schedule and cart rules with the town or your HOA for your specific address.
