- Note: Tenants have their own accounts, and utilities
hold them responsible, not the landlord.
-
- Cable TV & Internet
- Print this BrightHouse
Discount Certificate good for up to $125 in savings.
BrightHouse handles all of Brevard's cable. To order discounted
service, use my name (Richard Webb) and call Samantha 321-806-7215 for
personal service. They also bundle RoadRunner fast Internet,
and home phones.
-
- Cel Phone
- Check coverage maps where you are most likely to use your cel. Some
providers have spotty service. Verizon is excellent, but high-priced.
-
- Antenna TV
- Free Digital TV via $10 antenna is available via the digital tuner
in newer TVs and DVRs, or with $60 digital-to-analog converter box.
Currently 36 channels.
-
- Direct TV (satellite)
- Most people get a system from a local store like Best Buy,
Blockbuster, RadioShack, Wards, Kmart, an independent local dealer, or
from an online dealer. You should be able to find a FREE (after
rebate) receiver at most stores. Satellite reception suffers during
thunderstorms.
-
- Telephone
- Contact AT&T
online or 800-288-2020 at any hour to set up service. Deposit will be
determined by your credit report. You can select from three DSL
Internet access speeds 6/24/75 Mbps, even without voice service; but
check if actual equals advertized speed. Alternatives: Many folks
ditched the land line in favor of digital VOIP which is clearer. Magic
Jack works thru your computer or stand-alone. Ooma
is stand-alone. Skype (which includes
video) on the desktop and smartphone significantly reduces cellular
minutes if your cel plan limits minutes.
- Power
- Florida Power and Light requires a deposit that varies according to
a customer's credit rating. To sign up for FPL service, click FPL.com.
or call 321-723-7795 or 800-226-3545. One-day notification is required
to provide service.
-
- Water
- Be sure to ask about overdue charges! they are supposed to be paid
by the seller, but the closing agent could conceivably miss it.
-
- Charges for sewer, water and deposits vary. If you do not have a
well, consider getting 2 meters - the sprinkler water is 1/3 the price
(no sewer fees).
Some areas offer recycled water for sprinklers. Price varies, but
$10/mo is average. Most districts install a meter, but current recycle
charges cover unlimited use.
- Cocoa Water
- Cocoa Water provides service for most of Central Brevard.
Charges vary. All customers pay a $20 administration fee, paid on the
first bill. There may be a $60 deposit. Residents go to Cocoa City
Hall, located at 65 Stone St. (Cocoa Village) between 7 am and 5:30 pm
weekdays. Call 321-433-8400. Remotely: Put the reference address at
the top of a page with your SS# and attach your Driver license with
tape. Fax it on high-resolution or photo setting to 321-639-7524.
(They must be afraid you'll steal the aquifer so their process is
tougher than FPL that trusts you with 10x higher bill).

- Indialantic Water 321-727-2900
-
- Palm Bay Water 321-952-3400
-
- Titusville Water &
Solid Waste
- Typical arrogant government procedure: they put a lock on the water
meter at move-out and charge monthly availability fees of $16
regardless of use. No website -- call 321-383-5791 to put $129 deposit
plus $15 administrative fee on your credit card.

at 321-953-6390 or go to the Utility Billing Counter located on the

of Florida's toll booths without delay, and you get a toll discount.

- Voter Registration
- Call registrar at 321-264-6740 or see website
for locations. Never vote by name recognition! If you do not
diligently research the candidates and issues, please don't vote. A
successful republic needs well-informed voters.

Insurance Regulation website lists companies doing business in
Brevard, and sample premiums for each company. On their main page

built earlier.
