 How do I turn on my utilities?

 Utilities can be turned on at the Utility Collections Office located on the ground floor of City Hall, 114 N. Broad Street. The Utility Collections Office handles electric, water and sewer connections and payments. The connection deposit amount varies based on type of residence. New residents will also be required to have a Property Maintenance Inspection by the Building Inspector's Office. This safety inspection currently costs $25.00 and may be required before utility service is turned on. The City of Salem provides electric, water and sewer service. Monthly payments for these services can also be made in person at the Utility Collections Office.
