A legal I.D. is required for all services. All connections require a $25.00 connection fee.  A residential deposit may be required in the amount of $100.00 or higher based upon credit history either with the City of Dothan or a recent utility provider, this includes electricity, water and sewage where available. A deposit of $10.00 may be required for water or sewer service only. No residential deposit is required for new customers which have proof of previous history of "good standing" with the City of Dothan or recent utility provider.
