The Alahuela-National metropolitan area was formerly served by multiple utility companies, mostly based in Verona, but in an effort to unify the state's powergrid, the state public utility commission inadvertently created a mononopoly on power for [[Meridian Energy]]. Around this time period, the electric utility agreement with Southern Alexandria Power was expiring, thus Alahuela's government established the Mendes Electric Power Company ({{lang-cd|Companhia de energia eléctrica do Mendes}}, or CEEM) to provide power to the city. Water continues to be provided by the [[Public Utilities Commission (Cartadania)|Public Utilities Commission]], most of which is pumped from and treated in Verona, though a small amount of groundwater is still pumped in the city's Aceliari district. Although Verona has always been the water provider for the city, Alahuela was never subject to Western Verona's Even-Odd rule during the 1980s and early 1990s, that is, the city was never restricted with regards to water distribution and usage.
Natural gas in the region is provided by [[Marín-Helius]] and [[Attalus Natural Gas]]. While Verona Natural Gas is the provider for the extreme southwestern portions of the city, about 175,000 people, the vast majority of the metro area is served by Marín-Helius. It distributes natural gas via pipeline to nearly 8 million residential, commercial, and industrial natural gas users in the metro area.
{{wp|Coaxial|Coax}} cable service was historically provided in region by Amplus and Azura Communications, though has been phased out citywide in favor of {{wp|Fiber to the x#Active optical network|active optical}} {{wp|Fiber to the x#Direct fiber|direct}} {{wp|Fiber to the x|fiber network}} in the FTTP format, primarily provided by [[Axiom S.A.|Axiom]], as well as a few other small providers. All companies provide home-phone service in the region. In addition to Amplus, Axiom, and Azura, there are several other smaller companies that provide local service via satellite and other medium.
The city collects refuse primarily via its Department of Public Works, although National Waste Solutions is the largest private company to do so, also providing services in the areas that have their own trash service outside of Alahuela proper. Due to sanitation guidelines in the region, there are only two landfills in the metro area (southeastern [[Cara County, Verona|Cara County]] in Verona and western [[Rieti County, Alexandria|Rieti County]] in [[Alexandria]]), and most trash is transferred via station to landfills and processing facilities in [[Glade County, Verona|Glade County]].
