FAQ · 76481
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 76481?
Often Fort Belknap Electric Cooperative (outage 940-564-2343; office 940-564-3526) and/or Oncor or United Cooperative Services. Match your bill.
Who do I call when the power goes out?
FBEC 940-564-2343; Oncor 888-313-4747; UCS local office. Match bill. Downed line: 911 + electric provider.
How do I start water service when I move into 76481?
Contact Address-verify — small city, WSC, or rural water (unconfirmed direct phone) at the published city/WSC numbers in this packet or use the published start/portal links. Small-town / rural west-central Texas ZIP — city utility or water supply corporation phones not confirmed from a stable public page for every parcel. Match the water provider on your bill or county appraisal / TCEQ drinking-water lookup before move-in. Top-level phones left blank.
How does trash and recycling work in South Bend?
Trash may be city-contracted, county, or private. Confirm with City Hall or landlord. Top-level phone left blank.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
Piped gas is not confirmed for every parcel in South Bend / 76481. Check the prior bill or property listing. If Atmos serves you: start 888-286-6700; leak 911 then 866-322-8667. Do not invent an LDC. Propane customers use their propane supplier’s emergency instructions + 911.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
FBEC and UCS members generally cannot shop REPs. Oncor parcels (if any) are competitive—verify ESI ID.
Does South Bend use Dallas 311 or Fort Worth 311?
Stephenville, Bridgeport, Graham, Jacksboro, and most 764xx towns use their own utility billing lines—not Dallas 311 or Fort Worth 311. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 76481?
Common options include AT&T, Spectrum, Frontier, and United Cooperative Services fiber where built out; availability varies widely across Stephenville, lake communities, and rural Erath/Palo Pinto/Young/Jack towns. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address. This packet does not guarantee service at every unit.
How do I tell Oncor from UCS, Tri-County, Wise, J-A-C, Fort Belknap, or Bridgeport municipal?
Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. Oncor delivery bills show Oncor with a separate REP. Co-op and Bridgeport municipal bills come from those providers without REP shopping. Outage numbers differ—see this packet’s electric section.
