Azusa Pacific University Utilities

I shifted to US and planning to join Azusa Pacific University and for that I want to know about the Internet utilities available at the Azusa Pacific University. Also provide me details of all the utility information for the Azusa Pacific University?

Can you tell me in detail about Utilities offered by Office of Housing Services of Azusa Pacific University for its students? Also provide contact details of the University?

As a resident in a campus apartment in Azusa Pacific University, one is responsible for hooking up and paying for own utilities. This includes electricity, gas, telephone, and cable (if applicable) service. The university is not responsible for uncollected utilities charges. This arrangement is between roommates only.

Electricity
To set up, cancel, or transfer electricity service, visit Azusa Light and Waters website. One will need to set up ones service by the dates, which is generally one month prior to ones requested start date if one is establishing new service.

If one neglects to set up service by the designated time, there is a good chance that the service will not be turned on by the time one arrives.

Azusa Light and Water is closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It is also important to note that while one do not have to set up trash or sewage service, every apartment dweller in Azusa is automatically billed a flat rate for trash and sewage.

Azusa Light and Water will need to verify ones identification and check credit in order to establish new service. One will need to authorize them to do so when one request service.

If one does not pass the credit check, Azusa Light and Water will bill one a prepayment of $135, which will appear on first statement.

Water
Students do not need to set up water service.

Gas
To turn on the gas, call Southern California Gas Company at (800) 427-2200. Even if they tell one that the gas is on, one needs to set up the account in ones name (or roommates name) to avoid disconnection.

If asked if there are any locked gates, say yes. Let them know that APU has coordinated access to gates with their service technicians; however, if there are issues with gate access upon arrival, one (the resident) will let them in.

Telephone Service
To set up land-line telephone service, contact Verizon Fios. The university cannot be held responsible for any wiring problems.

Cable
To request cable service, contact Charter Communications or Frontier Communications. If the unit is not wired for service, one may ask if it is possible to set it up at ones cost. Units will not be rewired by the university.
