Common questions

Who is my electric utility in ZIP 77448?

CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric is the TDU that delivers electricity and restores outages in 77448 (Hungerford / Hungerford). You pick a Retail Electric Provider (REP) for the energy plan and bill. Compare at PowerToChoose.org or WattKarma.

Call CenterPoint Energy at 713-207-2222 or 800-332-7143, or use CenterPoint’s Outage Tracker. Your REP does not restore wires or poles. Downed line: stay away, call 911 and CenterPoint.

How do I compare electricity plans for 77448?

Use the PUC’s Power to Choose site or WattKarma’s ZIP page (https://wattkarma.com/zip/77448). Compare Electricity Facts Labels at your expected kWh. Co-op members (WCEC/Jackson EC) generally cannot shop REPs.

How do I start water service in 77448?

Provider varies by street in 77448. Top-level phone left blank—use lease, tax/appraisal district, city hall, or TCEQ Water District Viewer. Do not assume Houston Water or Sugar Land water.

How does trash / recycling work in 77448?

Follow your water jurisdiction: city-bundled trash, MUD/HOA contract, or private hauler. Sugar Land uses Republic (713-726-7307) with city billing; Missouri City city-contract often GFL 281-403-5800; Stafford often GFL 281-368-8397. Otherwise see trash.notes for 77448.

Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?

Piped gas LDC is not asserted for all of 77448. Confirm CenterPoint gas vs Atmos vs propane. If you smell gas: leave, then call 911 and the correct LDC emergency line.

Is electricity regulated or competitive here?

Delivery (wires, outages, delivery charges) is regulated through CenterPoint as TDU. Energy supply is competitive—you choose among licensed REPs. Compare the Electricity Facts Label at your expected kWh usage.

Which internet providers serve 77448?

Common options marketed in the Greater Houston / Fort Bend belt include AT&T Fiber, Xfinity, and Spectrum, but availability is address-specific. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address. This packet does not guarantee service.

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 77448 neighbor have different water or electric providers?

Fort Bend / Harris / Waller / Matagorda ZIPs often mix cities, MUDs, and (in Matagorda/Wharton) co-ops. Utility boundaries follow meters and districts—not ZIP labels. Always match your bill and appraisal district record.
