Residential Service
If you are moving into Pelham, water & sewer services can be set up in advance of closing on your new property. The Deed is required within three to five business days after closing. If you are renting, leasing, or leasing to purchase, please supply a copy of your dated/signed Lease Agreement at the time of application. Please submit a copy of your driver's license or government-issued photo ID along with your application. If applying with a co-applicant, we will need a copy of each person's identification.
You may submit your application by mail, fax, or email. Payment must be received in our office before service is established. If using email, please put "New Service" in the subject line. A 24-hour business day notice is required to process your request. All documents and payments must be received in our office by 3:00 p.m. for service the next business day. Please call our office at 205.620.6420 with any questions you may have, and we'll be happy to assist you.
