The town publishes a document and fee checklist
Blackstone’s utilities page says a person opening a new account must visit the Town Office, complete paperwork and provide required documents. It lists photo identification and a Social Security card, with an alternative formal document showing the customer’s full name and full Social Security number, and offers an optional $3 soft credit check.
The same page lists deposits of $250 for electric service, $125 for water service and $300 for both, plus a $10 connection fee for each service. These are the town page’s published amounts as checked November 4; confirm the live page before paying because a source update controls.
Keep identity information in the official private process
The town lists cash, check and card payment, weekday office hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and a 3:30 p.m. arrival request for same-day processing. A request is not an approved account, a payment receipt or a guarantee that field service will begin the same day.
Do not send Social Security numbers, identity documents or account credentials through public comments, social posts or an unofficial message. Use the town’s current in-person route and retain the actual receipt supplied by the responsible office.
