How do I compare electricity plans for 77494?

Use the PUC’s Power to Choose site or WattKarma’s ZIP page (https://wattkarma.com/zip/77494). 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 77494?

Most greater Katy parcels are MUD-served. City of Katy Utility Billing 281-391-4801 only inside city limits (Am I a Resident? map). Do not invent a single MUD phone for the ZIP.

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 77494.

CenterPoint Energy typically distributes natural gas for metro addresses near Katy. Start: 713-659-2111 or 800-752-8036. Leak: leave, then 911 and 713-659-2111 or 888-876-5786.

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 77494?

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 77494 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.
