Moving to Portland? Your setup checklist

  1. Confirm your Portland providers first. Before calling anyone, run your exact Portland address through the lookup — providers change at neighborhood boundaries.
  2. Pick your Portland electricity plan (1–3 days out). Compare at Maine PUC — around Portland, same-day starts are usually possible, just not worth gambling your move-in morning on.
  3. Set up water and sewer. Water service here varies by address — your lookup result will name the district to contact, which may be a municipal utility district (MUD) rather than the city.
  4. Keep your confirmation numbers. Portland landlords and title companies often want proof that Portland utilities are in your name from day one.
