Opening Your Account

To start new service, please fill out and send this form or call our customer service representatives at 218-477-8000 (Option 4) or visit the utility office located on the second floor of City Hall (located in the Moorhead Center Mall at 500 Center Avenue) between 8:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M., Monday-Friday.

To activate your account, we'll need your name, social security number, the address you're moving into, phone, and the move-in/start date at least one business day prior to your move. Your first bill will include a set-up fee of $15.00 to cover the cost of starting service at the new address. This charge applies to both new customers and customers who change addresses within our service area.
