Who to call to start service at a new address in Aberdeen.
Power comes from Duke Energy
Duke Energy (Duke Energy Progress, LLC), an investor-owned utility, serves all of Aberdeen. Its homes paid an average of 15.2¢ per kWh in 2025, about $159 a month (its average across North Carolina).
Service territory: HIFLD Electric Retail Service Territories (map dated Aug 2023). Prices and customers: EIA-861, 2025.
Water comes from Town of Aberdeen water system
The Town of Aberdeen water system supplies Aberdeen: about 92% of residents live in its service area. About 7% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws ground water and serves 12,473 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 83% of the 3,525 systems serving 10,001–50,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2023–Dec 2025, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
