Frequently asked questions

Enter your full street address on Who's My Provider and we resolve your electric utility from authoritative service-territory data — state regulator GIS where available, and the national HIFLD layer elsewhere. In most of the country your electric provider is fixed by where you live (it's not a choice), so the map tells you exactly who delivers your power.

Type your address and we match it against community water-system boundaries from state drinking-water programs and the EPA. Water is the most fragmented utility in the U.S. — there are tens of thousands of systems — so your provider can change from one neighborhood to the next.

Yes — completely free, no account, and no paywall. Enter an address and see your electric, water, wastewater, gas, internet, and trash providers instantly.

You'll get the most accurate result with a full street address, because utility boundaries often split a single ZIP code between providers. A city or ZIP gives you a close estimate; the exact address pins it down.

It usually means we don't yet have a mapped boundary at that point — common for sewer (few states publish provider maps) and rural gas (many areas have no piped gas at all). It doesn't necessarily mean there's no service; check with your city or county.

Each result carries a confidence level. 'High' comes from an authoritative state regulator boundary; 'Likely' from solid national data; 'Best estimate' is interpolated. Boundaries shift and datasets lag, so always confirm directly with the provider before anything important.

Public and official sources: state public-utility-commission and energy-commission GIS, the FCC National Broadband Map, EPA community water systems, HIFLD, and the U.S. Census — normalized into one consistent answer per address.

Electric and internet are nationwide. Natural gas is national plus authoritative state layers. Water and wastewater are authoritative in a growing set of states and expanding. If a layer is partial, we say so rather than guess.
