Utility & Services Directory for California Landlords

Find the electric, gas, water, trash and internet providers your rental uses, with official websites and public customer-service numbers. San Diego County and Southern California each have their own directory.

Last reviewed: Nov 13, 2026 Official sites and phone numbers only

Why this matters

Which provider serves a property depends on the exact address. Owners often have to transfer utilities between tenants and report outages, so keep each provider’s official site and phone number handy. Phone numbers appear only where we read them on the provider’s own site (or the cited public directory); otherwise we link to the site and leave the number out.
