Woodlands Water Agency 281-367-1271 or 855-426-7283 for Montgomery Woodlands MUDs; after-hours emergency 281-537-4376. Trash is NOT Woodlands Water—use Township 311/HOA.
How does trash / recycling work in 77381?
Follow your water jurisdiction: city-bundled trash, MUD/HOA contract, Township, or private hauler. Conroe uses Frontier via Utility Billing; Tomball/Humble/Magnolia/Willis/Montgomery/ORN bill trash with city utilities when city-served; Woodlands Water does not handle trash.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
CenterPoint Energy typically distributes natural gas for metro addresses near The Woodlands. Start: 713-659-2111 or 800-752-8036. Leak: leave, then 911 and 713-659-2111 or 888-876-5786.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
CenterPoint parcels are competitive (choose a REP). Entergy parcels are regulated (no REP shopping). The same ZIP can contain both.
Which internet providers serve 77381?
Common options marketed in the North Houston / The Woodlands / Conroe belt include AT&T Fiber, Xfinity, and Spectrum, but availability is address-specific. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address.
What should I do before digging or landscaping?
Call 811 (Texas 811) several business days before digging so underground utilities can be marked. Hitting a gas or electric line can be deadly and costly.
Why might my 77381 neighbor have different water or electric providers?
Harris / Montgomery ZIPs often mix cities, MUDs/WCIDs, CenterPoint vs Entergy Texas vs MidSouth Electric Cooperative. Utility boundaries follow meters and districts—not ZIP labels. Always match your bill and appraisal district record.
