NEW SERVICES

The City of Leesburg would like your experience with the Electric Department be the best it can be!  We welcome new service connections to our system. The City of Leesburg Electric Department serves most of the City of Leesburg, as well as parts of Lake County and most of the City of Fruitland Park. 

Within the City of Leesburg Electric Service Territory, there are areas that are underground service areas only. No new overhead construction is permitted in areas that are currently served by underground   lines.  There are areas within the City Limits that are also designated as future underground areas. All new construction in those areas are to be underground only.
