Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 79549?
Oncor Electric Delivery OR Big Country Electric Cooperative is the utility that delivers electricity and restores outages in 79549 (Snyder). 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 79549 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?
Match the provider on your bill: Oncor 888-313-4747 or BCEC 855-940-3872. Your REP (if any) does not restore poles/wires. Downed line: 911 + electric provider.
Who handles trash pickup in 79549?
City of Snyder Trash & Recycling / Public Works. Phone: 325-573-8826. Snyder Trash & Recycling 325-573-8826; sanitation also via Utility Department. Multifamily may use private haulers.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
Atmos Energy (Mid-Tex Division) is the typical LDC for many Snyder addresses. Start/transfer: 888-286-6700. Suspected leak: leave immediately, then call 911 and Atmos 866-322-8667 from a safe place. Natural gas is not retail-choice like electricity.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
Oncor parcels: delivery regulated via TDU; energy supply is competitive via REPs. BCEC members generally cannot shop REPs.
Does Snyder use Houston or Dallas 311?
No—west-central Texas / Abilene–Sweetwater–Snyder communities do not use Houston 311 or Dallas 311. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 79549?
Common options include AT&T, Spectrum, Suddenlink/Optimum (where footprint exists), Frontier, and local WISPs; availability thins in rural Fisher/Haskell/Kent/Stonewall/Knox areas. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address.
How do I tell competitive Oncor/AEP wires from a co-op?
Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. Oncor or AEP delivery bills show the TDU with a separate REP. Co-op bills (BCEC, Taylor EC) are from the cooperative (no REP shopping). Match outage numbers to the provider on the bill.
