Should I Be At Home When Services Are Connected?
You must be home when your natural gas service is connected. For your safety and protection of personal property, we also encourage you to be home when your electric and water services are connected. Make sure all heat producing appliances (stoves, ovens, toasters, space heaters, clothes dryers, hair dryers, etc.) are off or unplugged before your electricity is turned on. You should also make sure that all water connections (faucets, ice makers, washing machine hookups, etc.) are completely off when your water is turned on.
Does GUC Collect Garbage?
No. Here's how it works ...
When City of Greenville residents activate a GUC account, the stormwater and refuse fees are activated as well. Please note that new accounts are signed up at the curbside refuse collection rate for single-family homes and the multi-family rate for residences with dumpsters. For more information about refuse collection and stormwater services, please contact the City of Greenville at 252-329-4522 or visit greenvillenc.gov.
Greenville Utilities provides billing services for the City's refuse (garbage) collection and stormwater fees. The City of Greenville provides these services, however we have found that our customers prefer to receive just one bill.
Important Health Information for Our Water Customers
The health and welfare of our customers is our top priority. GUC uses chloramines as a disinfectant in our water treatment process. If you are a kidney dialysis patient, please speak with your physician about chloramines. Like chlorine, chloramines are toxic to fish. Fish owners need to remove chlorine, ammonia and chloramines from the water before use with tropical fish. Local pet stores carry water conditioners that remove chloramines. If you have questions, contact your pet store for information and detailed instructions.
