Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 79789?
Oncor Electric Delivery OR Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) is the utility that delivers electricity and restores outages in 79789 (Wink). 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 79789 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 TDU on your bill: Oncor 888-313-4747, TNMP 888-866-7456, or RGEC 800-749-1509 if applicable. Your REP (if any) does not restore poles/wires. Downed line: 911 + electric provider.
How do I start water service when I move into 79789?
Provider varies by street in Wink / 79789 (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 79789?
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 79789 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?
Oncor and TNMP parcels: delivery regulated via the TDU; energy supply is competitive via REPs. Co-op parcels generally cannot shop REPs.
Does Wink 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 79789?
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.
How do I tell competitive Oncor/TNMP wires from a co-op?
Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. Oncor or TNMP delivery bills show the TDU with a separate REP. Co-op bills (RGEC, SWTEC, Lyntegar) are from the cooperative (no REP shopping). Match outage numbers to the provider on the bill.
