How to Avoid Becoming a Caveman (Because Lack of Utilities Does That)
So, how do you tap into this magical utility grid and avoid living in the dark ages (breakfast taco consumption by candlelight just isn't the same)? Here's the skinny:
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
- Moving In? Head over to their website (https://coautilities.com/wps/wcm/connect/occ/coa/util/support/payment/) to get set up with service. It's like online dating for utilities, but way less awkward (and hopefully with a more guaranteed connection).

- Lost or Confused? Their website has a treasure trove of information, or you can always call customer service and chat with a friendly (or at least caffeinated) representative.
