Confirm on-base vs. off-base housing
On-base privatized housing typically bundles utilities in your BAH payment. Confirm with the housing office before setting up accounts, you may not need to.
Set up electricity 2 weeks before arrival
Call Georgia Power at (888) 660-5890. Request service start 1-2 days before your move-in date. You'll need your new address and may need to pay a deposit (show military ID to reduce or waive).
Set up natural gas (if applicable)
Contact Atlanta Gas Light at (770) 994-1946. Gas is often needed for heating, water heating, and ranges. Set up on the same call as electricity.
Set up water/sewer through the city
Managed by county water authority. Call the Augusta city hall or your property manager. Many require a deposit; military ID can help waive or reduce it.
Order internet 2-3 weeks in advance
Internet installation slots book fast. Order 2-3 weeks ahead. Ask for military discount and confirm the installation date. Consider Starlink as a backup if local providers are delayed.
Update all utility addresses for BAH records
Ensure your utilities match your address in DEERS/myPay. Mismatches can affect BAH calculations.
