Change Utilities for your Pine Mountain Lake Home
This directory has all the information that you will need to get hooked up in the Groveland area and/or change utilities for your Pine Mountain Lake home.

If you buy in Pine Mountain Lake, you will need to obtain a Pine Mountain Lake Association homeowner photo ID card; this will serve as a gate pass and identification for PMLA benefits. You can also pay a little more for a remote control gate opener. A copy of your deed and transfer fee check from the title company must be shown before ID cards or gate openers are issued. Local title companies will automatically send these to Pine Mountain Lake Association.

Propane Utilities
PG&E does not provide gas service for Groveland area and Pine Mountain Lake residents. So, if you have a gas water heater, gas home heater, gas stove, or other home system and/or appliance requiring gas, you will need to use a propane utility. If you buy a home that uses propane, chances are there is already a propane tank in the yard belonging to one of the local propane utilities. Since the prices are pretty competitive among them, most people will continue service with the existing utility. The cost of propane left in a leased tank is usually credited to the Seller by the propane supplier. The new owner must then buy it from the company in order to use it. The most commonly used propane companies in Groveland / Pine Mountain Lake are listed below. J.S. West and Suburban are the neighborhood favorites and when I last checked J.S. West was priced lower.
