Move-In Checklist

Who to Call to Set Up Utilities

Required. City of Glendora

Water & Sewer

Not a private company here, you open this account directly with the city before water gets turned on.

(626) 914-8200
What you need to open the account

This is the one that catches people out, because it is a city account rather than a company you can set up in five minutes online.

If you own the home
No deposit, provided you send proof of ownership the water division accepts.
If you rent
A $200 deposit is required, by mail or the night drop box at City Hall.
Everyone
An $85 application processing fee applies to opening any account.
How to apply
Email the application form with valid ID (and proof of ownership if you are the owner) to [email protected].
Billing
Billed by post every eight weeks, after a meter reading by city staff. Not monthly, budget for a larger bill arriving less often.
Direct line
(626) 914-8239 reaches water billing directly, rather than the City Hall switchboard.

Start this before your close date. Water does not transfer automatically with the property, and the account has to be in your name before service is turned on.

Electricity. SCE

Southern California Edison

Fastest way to start service at a new address is online, not by phone.

(800) 655-4555
Starting service and what to expect

Setting this up online is materially faster than phoning. You will need the service address, the date you want service to begin, and identification.

  • Start it a few days ahead of your move rather than on the day.
  • If power is already on at the property, you are transferring the account into your name rather than requesting a new connection, different, faster process.
  • SCE offers level-pay and low-income programs; worth asking about if your usage will be seasonal.

Confirm current deposit rules and timing with SCE directly, they vary by credit check and property history.

Gas. SoCalGas

Natural Gas

Have your move-in date ready, they'll schedule a technician if your meter needs turning on.

(877) 238-0092
Why this one may need an appointment

Gas differs from electricity in one important way: if the meter has been shut off, somebody has to be at the property to let a technician in and relight appliances.

  • If the previous owner left the gas on, it is a straight account transfer.
  • If it was shut off, common on a vacant or probate sale, you need a scheduled appointment with an adult present.
  • Appointment slots get thin around the end of the month, which is exactly when most escrows close. Book early.
Trash & Recycling

Athens Services

Glendora's real contracted hauler, not Waste Management, if you're used to a different city.

(888) 336-6100
Bins, pickup and bulky items

Athens holds the city contract here. If you are moving from a neighbouring city you may have had a different hauler, and the bins are not interchangeable.

  • Bins usually stay with the property. If they are missing or damaged, call Athens rather than buying your own.
  • California requires organic waste recycling, so expect a green bin alongside refuse and recycling.
  • Ask about bulky-item pickup before you pay someone to haul away moving debris, residential accounts typically include a number of collections.

Confirm your specific pickup day by address when you set the account up.

Internet & Cable

Spectrum / AT&T Fiber

Coverage varies block to block, check both before you commit to one.

(866) 874-2389
Check your exact address, not the street

This is the one worth checking before you are committed to the house if you work from home. Fibre availability in Glendora changes house by house, not block by block.

  • Run your exact address through both providers’ availability checkers. A neighbour having fibre does not mean you do.
  • Ask what is actually installed at the property now, existing coax or fibre drop makes installation far quicker.
  • Book installation as early as you can. A week or more out is normal at month-end.
General Questions

Glendora City Hall

Your go-to for anything utility-billing-adjacent that isn't service-specific.

(626) 914-8200
What else City Hall handles

Beyond water billing, this is where a new owner ends up for most of the municipal admin that comes with a house.

  • Building permits and inspections for anything you plan to change.
  • Business licences, if you will run something from the property.
  • Parking permits and street-sweeping schedules.
  • Tree, sidewalk and right-of-way questions on your frontage.

158 N Glendora Ave, Glendora, CA 91741 If you are unsure who handles something, start here rather than guessing between departments.

Provider info current as of 2026, always worth confirming directly, especially trash service if you're coming from a different city (haulers vary block to block across the San Gabriel Valley).

What Else Glendora City Hall Handles

Beyond utility billing, City Hall covers building permits and inspections, business licenses, code enforcement, planning and zoning, public works, parks and recreation, and police services, plus public meetings like city council and planning commission.

Why an estate agent keeps a guide like this

Because the questions people ask us before they move are almost never about houses. They are about which school an address feeds, who to ring about water, and whether the Village is walkable from a particular street. We answer those all week, so we may as well write them down.

We are two agents at KALEO Real Estate Company on N Glendora Ave. If something here is out of date, or you want to ask about a specific street, call or text either of us directly, or send a message. No drip campaign either way.
