New Port Richey Utilities Setup: Electric, Water, Gas, Internet
Direct phone numbers and the City vs. Pasco County water split. Built for closing day, not the week after.
New Port Richey is a small coastal Pasco city on the western side of the county. Inside city limits, the City of New Port Richey runs water and trash directly. Outside city limits, in unincorporated west Pasco (Holiday, Hudson, Bayonet Point), the provider switches to Pasco County Utilities. Duke Energy handles electric across the entire west Pasco area, and Peoples Gas covers most established neighborhoods. If you're closing on a home in central New Port Richey, Trinity, Gulf Harbors, Jasmine Estates, or anywhere along US-19 in west Pasco, this is the call sheet.
Electric in New Port Richey | Duke Energy Florida
Duke Energy is the only electric provider in New Port Richey and across all of west Pasco. New service is set up online or by phone, with same-day or next-business-day activation in most cases.
Coastal New Port Richey, especially Gulf Harbors and the canal-front pockets, is on overhead distribution that's vulnerable to summer storm outages. Hurricane Idalia in 2023 took several Gulf Harbors blocks out for four to six days. Inland New Port Richey recovers faster after storms because the lines are less exposed.
Water and Sewer | City of New Port Richey or Pasco County
Inside New Port Richey city limits, water and sewer come from the City of New Port Richey. Outside city limits, in Holiday, Hudson, Trinity, and most of west Pasco, the provider is Pasco County Utilities.
City of New Port Richey water rates are typically lower than Pasco County rates for the same usage. If you're choosing between two similar homes on either side of the city limit, that's worth a few minutes of math. Trinity and Mitchell are unincorporated, so they're on Pasco County water regardless of how upscale the neighborhoods feel.
Gas in New Port Richey | TECO Peoples Gas
Peoples Gas serves most of central New Port Richey and parts of unincorporated west Pasco. Newer construction in Trinity and the Mitchell area is sometimes electric-only by design. Verify with the seller disclosure or the appliance list before you assume gas service is on the property.
Trash and Recycling | City of New Port Richey or Pasco County
Inside city limits, the City of New Port Richey handles residential trash and recycling pickup, billed monthly on the city utility statement. Outside city limits, Pasco County contracts pickup through Waste Connections and bills annually on the property tax statement.

A few New Port Richey notes
The biggest utility surprise in New Port Richey is the city limit line. The drawn boundary is irregular, with pockets of unincorporated Pasco wedged inside what looks like the city. Two homes a block apart can be on different water companies and different trash schedules. Pull the parcel record before you call to set up service.
Gulf Harbors and the coastal canal communities are flood zone AE for almost every address. Required flood insurance on a $400k canal-front home runs $2,000 to $4,500 a year. Inland New Port Richey is mostly outside the special flood hazard area, with exceptions along the Pithlachascotee River. Check the FEMA designation for any address before you write an offer.
A Vreeland Real Estate agent can pull the FEMA flood zone, the city limit boundary, and the Duke outage history for any New Port Richey address before you write an offer. That's the kind of due diligence a Vreeland Real Estate agent who actually works west Pasco does.
