Seamless process.
Water & Light connections: Both require a deposit. Water $75.00 and Lights $150.00. Not sure if they were using average bill amounts from the pervious renters/owners. You will need to show your Driver License and social security card. I don't like to give my S.S# out but there's no way around it. Also will need your lease or deed/title.
The lines at the light company were long. But moved fast. Spent 45 minutes at the light company and 15 minutes at the water department. Try and use a local office instead of using the offices located in the mall. The mall offices are busier.
It takes about 1-3 days to have services connected.
It helps to have someone Bi-lingual. Water no English. Light company I got lucky and the lady spoke English. Thankfully, I had my husband with me who speaks Spanish.
