ELECTRICITY AND GAS: You will need to get in touch with your local electric and gas utility company in order for these services to be turned on at your residence. In areas covered by SCE&G a deposit is required unless (a) you bring a letter showing one year of credit history from your previous electric company or (b) active duty air force initiate service from on base SCE&G office. In areas covered by Berkeley Electric Co-op a deposit is required unless you bring a letter showing two years of credit history from your previous electric company.

SEWERAGE: Most subdivisions have sewerage. This service is provided in a variety of ways, some are provided by the municipal government as a tax service, some by municipal governments that add a sewerage fee to the water bill and some by private companies which bill the user directly. Any subdivision which has on-site sewerage is approved by the State Health Department. Therefore such service is considered adequate.
