Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 76431?
Oncor Electric Delivery (ONCOR) OR Wise Electric Cooperative OR Tri-County EC is the utility that delivers electricity and restores outages in 76431 (Chico). You choose a Retail Electric Provider (REP) for your plan and bill. The rate table at the top of this page shows today's lowest 76431 plans at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, and you can switch through WattKarma (PUCT broker #BR220202) at no cost.
Who do I call when the power goes out?
Oncor 888-313-4747; Wise EC 940-627-2167; Tri-County 817-444-3201. Match your bill. Downed line: 911 + electric provider.
How do I start water service when I move into 76431?
Small-town / rural west-central Texas ZIP — city utility or water supply corporation phones not confirmed from a stable public page for every parcel. Match the water provider on your bill or county appraisal / TCEQ drinking-water lookup before move-in.
How does trash and recycling work in Chico?
Trash may be city-contracted, county, or private. Confirm with City Hall or landlord.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
Atmos Energy typically distributes natural gas where piped service exists near Chico / 76431. Start service via Atmos Account Center or 888-286-6700. If you suspect a leak: leave immediately, avoid sparks, then call 911 and Atmos 866-322-8667 from a safe place.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
Oncor: competitive REPs. Wise EC and Tri-County members generally cannot shop REPs.
Does Chico use Dallas 311 or Fort Worth 311?
Stephenville, Bridgeport, Graham, Jacksboro, and most 764xx towns use their own utility billing lines—not Dallas 311 or Fort Worth 311. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 76431?
Common options include AT&T, Spectrum, Frontier, and United Cooperative Services fiber where built out; availability varies widely across Stephenville, lake communities, and rural Erath/Palo Pinto/Young/Jack towns. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address.
How do I tell Oncor from UCS, Tri-County, Wise, J-A-C, Fort Belknap, or Bridgeport municipal?
Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. Oncor delivery bills show Oncor with a separate REP. Co-op and Bridgeport municipal bills come from those providers without REP shopping.
