MOVING GUIDE
Moving and utilities guide: Atlanta
Energy, water, internet, transit and parking pointers for Atlanta. Verify with each provider before you commit.
Utilities and services
- Electricity: Georgia Power serves most of the Atlanta area
- Natural gas: Natural gas is retail-competitive in Georgia: Atlanta Gas Light delivers it and you choose a marketer
- Water and sewer: City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (varies by county and address)
- Internet: Internet availability and speeds are address-specific. Check the FCC National Broadband Map (broadbandmap.fcc.gov) for the exact address and ask the host which providers serve the building.
- Transit: MARTA rail and buses
- Parking rules: The City of Atlanta manages on-street paid parking in several districts; event days change rules, so check posted signs
Moving checklist
- Traffic is heavy at rush hour; schedule moves midday
- Choose a gas marketer if the unit uses natural gas
- Ask about MARTA access if you plan to commute without a car
