Start, Stop and Transfer Your Utilities When You Move
Posted
on Wednesday, April 28, 2021
When you move, make your utility service transition quick and easy by following the simple instructions below.
Start, stop or transfer your utility services with CFU by completing a form online or calling customer service at 319-268-5280.
The customer service office is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
We will need notice at least one working day prior to the day you’d like to begin or end utility services in your name.
Moving Out
When you move out of CFU's service area, you will need to stop your utility services. Gas, water and/or electric utilities will not be disconnected at your house when you move.
Instead utilities will be transferred to the new owner on the closing date and the contact name will be updated for the service address.
We complete a final meter read to ensure your final bill is accurate.
If you currently rent, it is important you know which utilities are your responsibility.
Don't forget to return CFU equipment such as cable boxes and remote controls to our office. Charges for unreturned items will be included on your final bill.
Moving Across Town
When you move from one Cedar Falls address to another, you can transfer your services instead of needing to stop and start service. Complete a transfer form to update your utility account.
Moving In
If you are new to Cedar Falls you will need to contact us to start your utilities services.
You will need your social security number, the date you want service to begin, your present address, your new service address and an emergency contact.
We will also need your landlord’s name and phone number if applicable and roommate information if you’ll have people living with you.
