Utility Cooperatives and Municipal Services in Delaware

Use this Delaware utility map before a job changes a meter, service mast, service drop, gas appliance, water line, sewer lateral, trench, driveway, drainage feature, or exterior structure. For electric outages, meter pulls, temporary service, panel upgrades, solar interconnection, EV chargers, or work that needs a utility disconnect, start with the electric provider assigned to the address: Delmarva Power in its distribution territory, Delaware Electric Cooperative in co-op territory, or the local municipal utility supported by Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation. Rural and coastal addresses can change utility territory quickly, so verify the premise before scheduling a cutover. For gas odors, hit lines, pressure questions, meter relocations, or appliance conversions, stop work and call Chesapeake Utilities or 911 from a safe distance when there is an immediate leak. Artesian Water and local water or sewer utilities coordinate taps, meters, hydrants, backflow, main shutoffs, and service-line ownership. Coastal rebuilds may also need flood-elevation and drainage coordination before trenching starts. Before excavation, boring, fence posts, trees, drainage, sewer, or water-service work, file the 811 ticket through https://delmarva811.com/ and wait for marks or positive response. Public marks do not replace private locating for lighting, irrigation, propane, septic, yard drains, or lines beyond the meter.
