Source boundary

Provider rows are not hidden territory guesses.

Where exact public boundaries are connected, UtilityProviderCheck names the provider. Where a boundary can change at the parcel edge, the result labels the route and keeps official verification links visible.

Electric: delivery utility, retail-choice caveat, commission source. Gas: availability and gas territory verification. Water/sewer: municipal billing, utility district, or county authority. Trash: municipal collection or official service-rule source.
