Moving to Bakersfield: set up in this order

Before your first Bakersfield summer hits and the AC runs nonstop, walk this checklist so the power, gas, and water are on in your name from day one.

  1. Open your Pg&E electric account. Bring the exact service address, not just the mailing city. Watch edges for water and sewer, which can flip between Cal Water and the City of Bakersfield.
  2. Bakersfield gas setup via Pg&E. Confirm meters and deposit rules for your Bakersfield street.
  3. Water next: City of Bakersfield. Deposits and start dates vary across Bakersfield ZIP 11.
  4. Book broadband installation. Self-install kits can shorten the wait when available in Bakersfield.

Bakersfield utility questions, answered

Who is the electricity provider in Bakersfield?

Electricity in Bakersfield comes from Pacific Gas & Electric. PG&E showed up at every address we sampled across the city. California doesn't offer retail electricity choice, so you don't pick a provider; the company that serves your address is simply the one you get. Just don't assume PG&E handles your gas too. In Bakersfield that's a separate utility. Run the lookup to confirm what's tied to your specific address.

Is my gas PG&E or SoCalGas in Bakersfield?

Natural gas in Bakersfield comes from SoCalGas, which turned up at every address we sampled. This catches a lot of newcomers off guard, because PG&E delivers the electricity here but not the gas. You're dealing with two different companies, not one. When you start service, contact each separately and don't assume a single call covers both. The lookup will show the gas provider tied to your address.

Who handles water and sewer in Bakersfield?

Water and sewer are the split you have to check. Across the addresses we sampled, California Water Service - Bakersfield served roughly two in three, and the City of Bakersfield's own system covered the rest, so your neighbor's provider isn't a safe guess for yours. Both water and sewer follow that same pattern. Because the mix runs neighborhood by neighborhood, the only reliable way to know is to run the lookup on your exact address.

Who is the electric company in Bakersfield?

Across the Bakersfield addresses we checked, Pg&E covers about 98% for electric.
