FAQ · 78372
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 78372?
It depends on your street: AEP Texas Central (competitive; outage 866-223-8508; CS 877-373-4858) or Nueces Electric Cooperative (non-competitive; outage 800-632-9288). Near Robstown, rare RUS municipal parcels may appear. Check your bill or ESI ID before shopping REPs. TNMP is not typical in Coastal Bend 783xx.
Who do I call when the power goes out?
Match the provider on your bill: AEP Texas 866-223-8508, NEC 800-632-9288, or RUS 361-387-3554 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 78372?
Provider varies by street in Orange Grove / 78372 (small city, WSC, or unincorporated). Top-level phones are blank on purpose—check your lease, prior bill, city hall, or TCEQ drinking-water lookup. Do not assume Corpus Christi 311, Alice, Kingsville, Rockport, or Portland service outside those footprints.
Who handles trash pickup in 78372?
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?
CenterPoint Energy (Entex) South Texas is the typical LDC for many Orange Grove addresses. Start/transfer: 800-427-7142. Suspected leak: leave immediately, then call 911 and CenterPoint 888-876-5786 from a safe place. Natural gas is not retail-choice like electricity.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
AEP Texas Central parcels: delivery regulated via the TDU; energy supply is competitive via REPs. Nueces EC and RUS customers generally cannot shop REPs. Address-verify before comparing plans.
Does Orange Grove use Houston or Dallas 311?
No—Coastal Bend communities do not use Houston 311 or Dallas 311. Corpus Christi has its own 311 (361-826-2489 outside city) for Corpus Christi city services—do not assume it covers Orange Grove / 78372. Use the local utility/city contacts in this packet. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 78372?
Common Coastal Bend options include AT&T Fiber, Spectrum, Frontier, and Sparklight where built; availability thins in rural Duval/Brooks/Jim Hogg/Bee parcels and on barrier islands. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address. This packet does not guarantee service at every unit.
How do I tell competitive AEP wires from a co-op or RUS?
Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. AEP Texas delivery bills show the TDU with a separate REP. NEC, SPEC, and RUS bills are from the cooperative or municipal utility (no REP shopping). Match outage numbers to your bill.
