ℹ
How utilities work here: your electricity provider depends on your city (each municipality has its own), natural gas is Enbridge almost everywhere, and water & waste are run by your Region or municipality. Set up electricity, gas, and water a few days before you take possession so they're on when you arrive.

Natural gas & internet — across the GTA

These are the same wherever you are in the Greater Toronto Area.
