Utilities & Public Services

A practical starting point for electricity, natural gas, public water and wastewater, trash and recycling, broadband availability, and underground utility location services throughout Rockingham and Augusta counties and their incorporated towns.

Confirm every provider by street address. Postal addresses, town names, county lines, utility districts, electric territories, gas mains, terrestrial broadband networks, and satellite-service capacity do not share identical boundaries. A provider listed for a community may not serve every property in that community.

Call 811 Before You Dig

Virginia law requires an underground-utility locate request before excavation. Contact Virginia 811 before planting trees, installing fences or mailboxes, building decks, grading, trenching, or doing any other project that disturbs the ground. Wait for the required markings and positive responses before work begins. Private lines beyond the utility-owned meter—such as lines to detached buildings, wells, septic systems, irrigation, propane tanks, or outdoor lighting—may require a private locator.

Utility & Public-Service Location Map

Orientation only: Google controls the locations returned by this live search and may omit, duplicate, or misclassify facilities. A mapped office or plant does not prove that the utility serves a particular address.

Accuracy & Service-Boundary Notice

This directory is an orientation resource, not a guarantee of service. Providers, operating territories, municipal boundaries, utility districts, rates, collection arrangements, and contact information can change. Confirm service directly with the utility using the exact property address before signing a lease, purchasing a home, scheduling construction, or estimating connection costs. Private wells, septic systems, propane, private trash hauling, homeowner associations, private utility lines, fixed wireless, or satellite internet may apply where public or wired service is unavailable.
