St. Johns Utilities Setup: Electric, Water, Gas, Internet
Direct phone numbers, the FPL footprint, and which St. Johns Golf and Julington Creek subdivisions are on county water vs. private well.
St. Johns is the unincorporated community along the western edge of St. Johns County, anchored by the St. Johns Golf and Country Club community and the older Julington Creek Plantation subdivision just north. The utility map here is straightforward at first glance and complicated in practice. FPL handles every electric meter. St. Johns County Utilities runs water and sewer for the planned subdivisions, but plenty of older parcels off CR 13 and CR 16A are still on private wells and septic. Natural gas service is patchy. If you're closing on a home in St. Johns Golf or Julington Creek, this is the call sheet.
Electric in St. Johns | Florida Power & Light (FPL)
Florida Power & Light (FPL) is the St. Johns electric provider for every address in the area. There's no co-op or municipal alternative. St. Johns Golf, Julington Creek, the rural parcels along CR 13, and the newer subdivisions off CR 210 all run on FPL.
FPL turnaround is fast. Most St. Johns addresses get next-business-day service when you call three to five business days ahead of closing. The online start-service portal handles transfers in minutes if you already have an FPL account elsewhere in Florida.
Water and Sewer | St. Johns County Utilities
St. Johns County Utilities handles water and sewer for the planned subdivisions in the St. Johns area, including most of St. Johns Golf, Julington Creek Plantation, and the newer Aberdeen, Durbin Crossing, and Trout Creek developments. Older parcels along CR 13, CR 16A, and the rural west side are commonly on private wells with septic systems instead.
The St. Johns water bill from St. Johns County Utilities is a single combined statement covering water and sewer. Subdivisions with reuse irrigation lines (a few sections of Julington Creek and the newer Aberdeen builds) get the irrigation usage rolled into the same bill. If you're buying past the established subdivisions on a larger lot, get a water quality test as part of the inspection contingency: well water in this part of St. Johns County tends to be clean but hard, with some sulfur in spots.
Gas in St. Johns | Florida Public Utilities and Propane
Natural gas service in the St. Johns area is patchy. Florida Public Utilities (FPU) runs gas mains in pockets of Julington Creek, Aberdeen, and a handful of other subdivisions. Most St. Johns Golf homes and the older rural parcels use propane delivered by a local supplier. Ask the seller for a recent gas bill or check whether the appliances tie to a gas main or a propane tank.
Trash and Recycling | St. Johns County Solid Waste
St. Johns County contracts residential trash and recycling pickup through Republic Services and other vendors depending on the area. Service is mandatory for most parcels and billed on the property tax statement. New homeowners typically don't need to call to start service.

A few St. Johns notes
St. Johns is one of the fastest-growing parts of Northeast Florida, and the housing stock reflects that. Julington Creek Plantation has been built out for decades and the HOA assessments are mature; St. Johns Golf and the newer CR 210 subdivisions still carry CDD bonds that can add several thousand a year to the tax bill on top of the regular county assessment. Pull the CDD bond payoff schedule before you make an offer on a newer build.
Set up utilities in St. Johns three to five business days before closing. FPL is fast on transfers. St. Johns County Utilities usually flips water service the same business day if the prior owner closed cleanly. Moving to St. Johns and looking at one of the rural parcels off CR 13 or CR 16A? Confirm the well and septic status before you write the offer; those properties are not on the county water grid even if neighboring subdivisions are.
