UTILITIES DEPARTMENT

THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC UTILITIES IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING WATER AND SANITARY SEWER SERVICES TO THE CITY OF CIRCLEVILLE.

Rental Properties and New Utility Accounts

Effective June 3, 2026, the City of Circleville will no longer establish new utility accounts in the name of a tenant occupant. New utility service for rental properties must be established in the name of the deeded property owner.

Property owners may authorize utility bills to be mailed to a tenant occupant and may permit tenant occupants to make payments on the account. However, the utility account will remain in the name of the deeded property owner.

Because new utility accounts will no longer be established in a tenant occupant’s name, the Utilities Department will no longer collect utility deposits for new rental accounts.

Property owners and tenants may continue to make private arrangements regarding responsibility for utility payments. The City administers utility accounts in accordance with City ordinances and policies.

Please contact the Utilities Department with any questions regarding utility service for rental properties.
