A real estate utility checklist is a comprehensive list that helps manage utility services during a property transaction. The checklist may cover essential services such as electricity, water, gas, sewer, trash collection, internet, and cable. By following the checklist, homeowners or renters can ensure a smooth transition when moving in or out of a property, avoiding disruptions or delays in service. It serves as a handy guide to make sure all utilities are appropriately handled before or after the move.

The name "Macungie" is derived from a Native American word meaning bear swamp, or place where bears feed. The early 18th century Pennsylvania German settlers took land that had been hunting grounds for the Lenni Lenape, adopting the Lenape name for the area. They found the rich, fertile soil and amply watered land to their liking and so cleared the scrub and forests, planted crops, raised livestock, and continually expanded their holdings.

Macungie Township was formed in 1743, when Lehigh County was still part of Bucks County. It comprised the area of present Upper and Lower Macungie townships, including the boroughs of Macungie and Alburtis. The population then was 650 persons. Northampton County was created in 1752; Lehigh County was separated from it in 1812. The population of Macungie Township in 1810 was 2,420. On May 5, 1832, Lehigh County approved a petition to divide Macungie Township into two, making Upper and Lower Macungie the first new townships to be created in Lehigh County. Lower Macungie is 22.46 square miles in size.

The population in the 1840 census was 2,156. By 1890 it had reached a nineteenth-century peak of 3,657, then began a decline until 1960, when it rose to 3,859. It has increased dramatically in each decade since then, climbing to 8,814 in 1970, 12,958 in 1980, 16,000 in 1990, and 19,220 in 2000. In 2009 the population is estimated to be close to 30,000.
