Greenwich CT Utilities
Greenwich CT Utilities
Public utility choices for Greenwich residents vary somewhat depending
on the utility. With some utilities like propane gas, oil, long-distance
telephone, and ISPs, consumers have a number of choices where they can
get service. Other companies like water, local telephone and cable offer
no depth in choice options. With de-regulation subscribers have the
ability to shop for electricity even though many stay with what they are
used to. Despite partial de-regulation of gas in 1996, Connecticut
Natural Gas is the only company that can deliver public gas to property
owners.
The following is a listing of the various utilities that service
Greenwich residents and a partial listing of some respective company
names. With all services except the aforementioned water, local phone
service and cable television consumers have more than one option.
With making this list available, I make
no specific or implied endorsement of these services
and recommend that all consumers make their own choice and decisions.
