If Account Holder is Deceased

It is unlawful to retain a utility account in the name of a deceased person.

The account must be closed and a new account opened in the name of the responsible party (i.e., the surviving spouse or family member, an estate or trust, etc.).

In addition to the items listed above, you may be asked to provide copies of:

  • Death certificate
  • Court documents
  • Testamentary letter
  • Any other affidavit or document from the court that verifies that an estate exists and/or designates the executor's name and address

A deposit of $50 may still be required.  However, the service initiation fee of $50 for the new account will be waived in this circumstance.
