FAQ · 77007

Common questions

Who is my electric utility in ZIP 77007?

CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric (CNP) is the utility that delivers electricity and restores outages in 77007 (Houston). 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 77007 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?

Call CenterPoint Energy at 713-207-2222 or 800-332-7143, or report/track outages via CenterPoint’s Outage Tracker (centerpointenergy.com/OutageTracker). Your REP does not restore wires or poles. For a downed power line, stay far away and call 911 and CenterPoint.

How do I start water service when I move into 77007?

If your address is on City of Houston Houston Water, start or transfer service online through Houston Water Bills / Utility Billing, or call 713-371-1400 (Mon–Fri 8 a.m.–7 p.m.). Confirm you are not in a MUD before applying. Report water leaks and many field issues through Houston 311.

How do I get a trash can as a new Houston resident?

For addresses on City of Houston Solid Waste routes, request a 96-gallon garbage cart by calling 311 (or 713-837-0311) or submitting a 311 service request. See SWMD garbage collection tips for set-out rules, Add-A-Can, and Tags for Bags. Some apartments/condos use private haulers instead of city carts.

Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?

CenterPoint Energy distributes natural gas in Houston proper, including typical 77007 addresses. Start service via CenterPoint My Account / new-customer flow or 713-659-2111 / 800-752-8036. If you suspect a leak: leave immediately, avoid creating sparks, then call 911 and CenterPoint’s leak hotline at 713-659-2111 or 888-876-5786 from a safe place.

Is electricity regulated or competitive here?

Delivery (wires, outages, delivery charges) is regulated through CenterPoint as TDU. The energy supply is competitive—you choose among licensed REPs. Always compare the Electricity Facts Label at your expected kWh usage; advertised teaser rates can differ from your all-in bill.

What number is Houston 311 for?

Houston 311 (dial 311, or 713-837-0311 from outside the area) is the city’s 24/7 non-emergency helpline for services such as missed trash pickup, new carts, water/sewer concerns, potholes, and other city service requests. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.

Which internet providers serve 77007?

Common options marketed in inner-loop Houston include AT&T Fiber, Xfinity, and Spectrum, but availability is address-specific. Use each provider’s availability checker with your full street address before ordering.
