GUC's Priority Customer Program identifies customers who use life support equipment at their residences. These customers are provided special consideration in the event of power outages or during routine maintenance of electric service lines. For more information or to be considered a priority customer, please let us know when applying for service or contact us at 252-551-3364.

This program does not guarantee that these customers will never lose power, they are simply provided special consideration in the event of power outages during routine maintenance of electric service lines. 

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 the City's website.

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.

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, toaster, space heaters, clothes 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. 

There are times when GUC will send the account holder text messages to remind them of an upcoming appointment (such as connecting natural gas service or installing Beat the Peak equipment). To opt out of this service, simply reply STOP to the text message.

The health and welfare of our customers is our top priority. GUC uses chloramines as a disinfectant in our water treatment process. Here is some information about chloramines for kidney dialysis patients and fish owners.
