Utilities [Top] Notes about utilities: One electric or phone company indicates that company serves the entire town. More than one of either indicates each serves different areas of town. A listed cable company MIGHT mean the entire town is covered, but not necessarily. More than one listed indicates each serves different areas of town. Unless your area is one served by Vermont's only gas utility, your only option is bottled gas (any dealer).
