Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 79785?
Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) is the utility that delivers electricity and restores outages in 79785 (Toyah). 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 79785 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 TNMP at 888-866-7456 or use tnmp.com outage tools. Your REP does not restore wires or poles. If your bill shows Rio Grande EC, call 800-749-1509. Downed line: 911 + electric provider.
How do I start water service when I move into 79785?
Provider varies by street in Toyah / 79785 (small city, WSC, special district, or well). Do not assume Midland, Odessa, Big Spring, or Fort Stockton service outside those footprints.
Who handles trash pickup in 79785?
City contract vs private hauler is address-dependent. Confirm with city hall, HOA, or landlord. Multifamily properties often use private haulers.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
Piped gas is not confirmed for every 79785 address—many rural Permian homes use propane. Where Atmos West Texas serves, start 888-286-6700; leak 866-322-8667. Suspected leak: leave immediately, then call 911 and your gas provider from a safe place.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
Delivery is regulated through TNMP as TDU. Energy supply is competitive—you choose among licensed REPs.
Does Toyah use Houston or Dallas 311?
No—Permian Basin / Midland–Odessa communities do not use Houston 311 or Dallas 311. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 79785?
Common options include AT&T, Spectrum, Suddenlink/Optimum (where footprint exists), and Frontier; availability thins in rural Reeves/Pecos/Loving/Upton areas. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address.
What should I do before digging in the yard?
Call 811 (Texas 811) before any digging or landscaping that disturbs soil so underground electric, gas, water, and telecom lines can be marked. Hitting a line can be dangerous and costly.
