Methodology
Official sources first. Boundary guesses last.
Utility service depends on territory maps, municipal billing systems, water and sewer districts, franchise agreements, retail choice rules, and sometimes private systems. The product labels that complexity instead of hiding it.
How UtilityProviderCheck chooses utility provider sources, confidence labels, city coverage, and no-fake-answer fallbacks.
Confidence labels
- High: official provider or municipal service source is stable for the matched city service area.
- Medium: official source path exists, but the final provider depends on address-level territory, borough, gas availability, retail choice, or utility district confirmation.
- Low: only jurisdiction and official verification paths are available. The provider is not invented.
Coverage path
Initial coverage starts with population-heavy markets and public official sources. The long-term target is 99% population-weighted exact/source-backed coverage using service territory maps, PUC/PSC data, municipal sources, utility territory data, and public GIS.
Corrections
