White Horse Beach is a village of Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. It consists of public beach in the Manomet section of Plymouth and is located on Cape Cod Bay, south of Priscilla Beach and north of Manomet Point.

Residents and businesses in this village that are non-Post Office box holders use Plymouth's ZIP code of 02360.

What is utilities law?

Public utilities provide electric, gas, water or telephone service to customers in a specified area. Utilities have a duty to provide safe and adequate service on reasonable terms to anyone who lives within the service area on without discriminating between customers. Because most utilities operate in near monopolistic conditions, they can be heavily regulated by local, state, and federal authorities. Generally, the local and state agencies are called Public Service Commissions (PSC) or Public Utility Commissions (PUC). Municipal Utilities and Rural Electric Cooperatives may be unregulated though.
