Moving In Should Feel Like an Arrival, Not a To-Do List
There's a particular kind of tired that comes with a move. Boxes everywhere, the truck due back by five, and somewhere on a sticky note, the words "call the power company." We'd rather you spend that energy figuring out which window gets the morning light.
So we built move-in around one simple page. Enter your new Sheridan address and you'll see every utility option that actually serves your home, with the steps to turn each one on. Confirm as you go. By the time the truck pulls away, the lights are on and the Wi-Fi's working.
Three Steps. About Fifteen Minutes.
01. Tell us your address
Open your Wyo Stays setup portal and enter your new Sheridan County address. We'll pull up every provider that actually services your street, not a generic list.
02. Turn on each utility
Electric, gas, water, and internet, each with a clear path to activation. Set them up, then confirm so nothing slips through the cracks before move-in day.
03. Move in, already running
Walk into a home that's ready. Lights on, water flowing, internet live. No first-night scramble, no cold showers, no hotspot.

What Powers a Home in Sheridan County
Sheridan isn't a one-company town when it comes to utilities. What serves your home depends on where in the county you land. For the exact providers mapped to your specific address, your setup portal is the source of truth.
Electricity
Most homes inside Sheridan city limits are powered by Montana-Dakota Utilities (MDU). Out in the county and rural Bighorn foothills, that's often Powder River Energy Corporation (PRECorp), a local cooperative. Electric can take a few business days to activate, so it's the first one to set up.
Natural Gas
Natural gas across the Sheridan area is delivered by Montana-Dakota Utilities (MDU). If your rental heats with gas, you'll want this connected before the first cold snap rolls down off the mountains.
Water, Sewer & Trash
Water, sewer, refuse, and recycling for in-city homes run through the City of Sheridan Utilities Department (307-674-6483), supplied by Sheridan Area Water Supply. A handful of county districts bill separately. Your portal will tell you which applies to your address.
Internet
Sheridan has real choice on internet. Cable, fiber, and fixed-wireless options vary block to block, with local and national providers in the mix. Set this one up last, since some plans need an install visit. Compare the plans available at your address right in the portal.

Common Questions
How do I set up utilities for a rental in Sheridan, Wyoming?
The fastest way is through your Wyo Stays setup portal, which shows every electric, gas, water, and internet provider mapped to your specific Sheridan County address. You activate each utility from one page and confirm as you go. It's free for Wyo Stays tenants and takes about fifteen minutes.
When should I start setting up utilities before move-in?
Plan to start one to two weeks before your move-in date. Electricity activations can take a few business days, gas and water are usually same- or next-day inside Sheridan city limits, and internet often needs a scheduled install visit. Starting early means the lights, heat, and Wi-Fi are all on the day you arrive.
In what order should I turn on electric, gas, water, and internet?
Start with electricity. It has the longest lead time and powers everything else. Set up natural gas and water/sewer next, since both are quick to activate in Sheridan. Save internet for last, because the right plan depends on your address and some providers require an install appointment.
Who provides electricity and natural gas in Sheridan, Wyoming?
Most homes inside Sheridan city limits get both electricity and natural gas from Montana-Dakota Utilities (MDU). Rural and county properties are often served by Powder River Energy Corporation (PRECorp) for electric. Your exact provider depends on your address, which the setup portal verifies for you.
How do I set up water, sewer, and trash service in Sheridan?
Water, sewer, refuse, and recycling for homes inside the city are handled by the City of Sheridan Utilities Department, reachable at 307-674-6483. Some outlying county districts bill separately. Your setup portal flags exactly which applies to your address so you don't make the wrong call.
Is the Wyo Stays utility setup tool free, and is it required?
Yes, it's completely free for tenants. No fees, no markups. It's not mandatory, but it's by far the easiest way to get everything connected before move-in, with live support if a provider gives you trouble. Most Wyo Stays tenants are fully set up in one short session.
What should I do if I need to move in before my application is fully approved?
Don't activate utilities at the address until the lease is signed. Providers will set up the account in your name, and reversing that mid-process is a hassle. Reach out to our Renter Support team at 737-377-1570 first. We'll confirm your status and time the utility setup to your actual move-in date.
