Utilities in Green Valley.
Green Valley is unincorporated and mostly 55+. Three water companies divide it, and the HOA or community association usually names the trash hauler.
Who serves Green Valley.
Tucson Electric Power (TEP)
The electric utility for the Tucson metro. Start, stop or transfer service online; a deposit may apply without an established credit history.
Southwest Gas
Natural gas for most of the metro. Have your SSN handy for the application. If the gas is off at the property, a technician needs access inside to relight the furnace and water heater, so book early.
Community Water Co. of Green Valley

Sahuarita Water Company

Pima County Regional Wastewater (RWRD)
County sewer. Inside the City of Tucson it rides on the Tucson Water bill; elsewhere it is billed separately or the home is on septic.
Republic Services
Private curbside trash and recycling across the metro, plus bulk pickup by appointment.
WM (Waste Management)
Private curbside trash and recycling, strong in the northwest and Marana. No annual contract for residential. For a take-over it is usually easiest to call the Tucson office at (520) 287-0777 and say you are taking over service.
Cox Communications
Cable internet and TV for most of the metro. Many homes are pre-wired; self-install kits are common.
Xfinity
Comcast’s cable internet, TV and mobile. Coverage is address-specific, so check before you assume. Ordering online while the seller still has service? Choose “No, I am moving here as a new customer.”
No curbside bulky program; the Sahuarita transfer station and hauler bulk pickups cover it. Many HOAs run spring cleanup days.
Moving in, in order.
Power, gas and water never actually turn off between owners. You take over the account. Set up "take over service" with each provider one to two weeks before closing, dated the day of closing or the day before to be safe.
- Today: homeowners insuranceShop it as soon as you are under contract; the lender needs the policy before closing. If your current insurer does not write southern Arizona, I send people to James Carpenter at American Family.
- Two weeks out: gas and waterSouthwest Gas wants your SSN for the application and needs a technician inside if the gas is off. Water companies want three to five business days, and some (Lago Del Oro, for one) ask for a copy of the purchase agreement.
- One to two weeks out: electricTEP and Trico both take over online. Date it the day of closing or the day before, not move-in day.
- One week out: trash and internetPrivate haulers: call and say you are taking over service at the address. Internet: confirm the provider at SmartMove first. If you order online while the seller still has service, choose "No, I am moving here as a new customer."
