New to Mount Juliet? Start power with MTE, water with West Wilson Utility District, gas with Piedmont, and get your Tennessee license within 30 days.
Last checked Oct. 17, 2026. This page is a checklist for new residents. It links our own guides and the providers’ and agencies’ own sign-up pages; it does not list prices. Facts come from each provider or agency named.
Moving to Mount Juliet means signing up with several separate providers: Middle Tennessee Electric for power, West Wilson Utility District for water, the City of Mt. Juliet for sewer, Piedmont Natural Gas for gas, and a private hauler for trash, because the city has no garbage service. Then come the Tennessee deadlines: a driver’s license within 30 days, and your car tag at the Wilson County Clerk’s Mt. Juliet office.
