Moving in. If you are moving into Norwood, welcome! Sign up for electric service first, and then sign up for our broadband service for high-speed internet, HD cable TV and digital telephone.

Water accounts are always billed to the property owner. If ownership has changed, the account will be updated per the Assessors Department after the deed for the property has been filed. These updates are done monthly. As a result, any interim bill will be sent to the homeowner.

Moving out. We are sorry to see you go, but before you do please contact us to cancel service:

• Electric – Call our office at 781-948-1200, 10 days prior to your move to schedule a final reading for your electric service.
• Water – Call the Department of Public Works at 781-762-1413, 10 days prior to your move to schedule a final reading for your water service.
• Broadband – Return all equipment (boxes, remote controls, power cords, etc.) to our office at 136 Access Road between the hours of 7:45 am – 4 pm Monday through Friday.

A higher than usual bill may be due to the seasons, holidays and billing periods.

Seasonal Reasons:

• Shorter days increase the need for lighting.
• Heavier, winter clothing requires a longer time in an electric dryer.
• During holidays, more electricity is used for cooking, cleaning, lighting, heating and entertaining.
• Indoor activities use more energy for lighting, cooking and entertaining.Hot, humid weather can increase cooling costs by 10% or more.

Billing Periods
A typical billing period is between 29 and 31 days. Holidays and other factors beyond our control may make a billing period up to 35 days long. An additional five days can increase a bill by 17%.
