DISPOSABLE WIPES WILL HAUNT YOU!
Ghosts and wipes have one thing in common – they can haunt you! This
is because wipes do not disintegrate and can clog your sewer line. A result of using disposable wipes, septic tanks have to be pumped and pipes need unclogging more often, which can be costly.

Dispose of wipes in the trash can to avoid spooky ramifications!


New Water & Sewer Utility Rates Effective

October 1, 2023

In 2022, the Daphne Utility Board voted to increase water and sewer rates effective October 1, 2023. This is only the second increase since 2015 for utility customers. For more information, and to view rates, please visit our website.

Restoring Natural Gas Service


To restore existing natural gas service, it must be scheduled through our customer service department by setting an appointment. As we have limited time slots available daily, it would be advisable to schedule ahead of cold weather. Otherwise it can be several days before we can set an appointment. No same day appointments for these type cut-ons.



Our technicians only turn the gas on at the meter. If a gas pilot light needs to be lit, it’s recommended that a gas certified plumber is secured to perform this task.


Reminder there is a $25.00 reconnection fee that will be billed once the request has been received.  


Trash Service

Daphne Utilities is always proud to partner with the City of Daphne! We do know it gets confusing at times what services we each offer. We handle the billing for trash service, the city handles the service and operation of that, along with recycling and stormwater management.
