Electric in Lakeland | Lakeland Electric
Lakeland Electric is a department of the City of Lakeland, which is why it's one of the few places in Central Florida where the electric bill doesn't come from Duke or TECO. One call (or a My Account sign-in) starts electric and water together. New residential customers need to be 18 or older with two forms of ID, and to guarantee same-day service you have to call before 4 p.m. Customer service runs Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; toll-free is 1-800-929-4876.
Water and Sewer | City of Lakeland Water Utilities (billed with Lakeland Electric)
Water, wastewater, solid waste and stormwater all sit on the same city utility account as electric, so there's no second application. Some addresses outside the city system are on Polk County sewer instead; the Lakeland Electric moving page flags it as 'if applicable'.
