Electricity in Palm Beach County
Florida Power & Light (FPL) provides electric service to most communities throughout Palm Beach County. However, electric providers can vary by service area. Lake Worth Beach, for example, operates its own municipal electric utility.
If you’re unsure which electric utility serves your home, verify service using your exact property address before opening an account.
Florida Power & Light (FPL)
FPL provides electric service throughout most of Palm Beach County. New and existing customers can start, stop or move electric service online.
Lake Worth Beach Utilities
Lake Worth Beach operates its own community-owned electric utility. Customers within the Lake Worth Beach Utilities service area can start electric service directly through the city. Because service boundaries can vary, check your property address before applying.
Water & Sewer in Palm Beach County
Water and sewer service in Palm Beach County varies by municipality and service area. More than 20 water utilities provide service throughout the county, so your provider may be a city, Palm Beach County Water Utilities, or another local utility.
If you’re unsure who provides water and wastewater service to your home, use Palm Beach County’s Find Your Provider tool to look up the correct utility before opening an account.
Palm Beach County Water Utilities
Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department serves large portions of Palm Beach County. If your property is within its service area, residential customers can establish, stop or change water service through the county.
Trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk collection in Palm Beach County varies depending on where you live. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County (SWA) provides collection service for residents of unincorporated Palm Beach County through contracted haulers.
If you live within a city, town or village, your municipality is responsible for arranging collection service. Contact your municipality or its designated waste provider for pickup schedules, bulk collection and other service questions.
Solid Waste Authority — Unincorporated Palm Beach County
If your home is in unincorporated Palm Beach County, SWA contracts with local haulers to provide residential garbage and recycling collection. Garbage is generally collected twice per week, while recycling, yard waste and bulk items have separate scheduled collection days.
Internet & Fiber in Palm Beach County
Internet and fiber-optic service in Palm Beach County varies by property address and community. AT&T and Xfinity are widely available in the area, while other providers may serve specific neighborhoods, condominiums and planned communities.
If your home is within an HOA, condominium or gated community, check with the association before ordering service. Some communities have bulk internet, fiber or television agreements with a specific provider, and service may already be included in your HOA or condominium fees.
Homes without a community-wide service agreement may have multiple provider options. Fiber availability can vary from one neighborhood — and sometimes one address — to another, so always check service using the exact property address.
Check Internet Availability by Address
Enter your property address with each provider to see which services, speeds and fiber options are currently available at your home.
HOA & Community Internet Providers
Some Palm Beach County communities have bulk internet, fiber or television service arranged through the homeowners or condominium association. If your community has an agreement, contact your association or the designated provider before purchasing separate service.
Gas & Propane in Palm Beach County
Natural gas is not available at every property in Palm Beach County. Many homes are fully electric, while others may use natural gas or propane for appliances such as ranges, water heaters, dryers, fireplaces, pool heaters or outdoor kitchens.
Availability varies by property and community. Some neighborhoods have access to natural gas lines, while other homes use individual or community propane tanks. Before establishing service, confirm what type of fuel and equipment is already installed at the property.
Natural Gas
Florida Public Utilities (FPU) provides natural gas service within portions of Palm Beach County. Natural gas availability depends on the location of existing gas infrastructure, so service may not be available at every property or in every neighborhood.
If a home already has natural gas appliances or a gas meter, contact FPU to verify and activate service. If natural gas is not currently installed at the property, FPU can determine whether new service is available at that address.
Propane
Propane is another option used by some Palm Beach County homes, particularly where natural gas lines are not available. Propane may be stored in an individual tank on the property or supplied through a community system.
If your home already has a propane tank or propane appliances, confirm whether the tank is owned or leased and identify the existing supplier before changing or establishing service. Provider availability varies by location.
