FAQ · 78729

Common questions

Who is my electric utility in ZIP 78729?

MIXED in 78729 (Anderson Mill / Pond Springs). Providers can include Austin Energy, Oncor, and/or PEC (and GUS on Georgetown fringe). Always match your bill/ESI ID / Property Profile before shopping REPs.

Who do I call when the power goes out?

Match the provider on your bill: Austin Energy 512-322-9100, Oncor 888-313-4747, PEC 888-883-3379, or GUS 512-930-3640. Downed line: 911 + that provider.

How do I start water service when I move into 78729?

Provider varies by street (City of Austin Utilities 512-494-9400, Round Rock 512-218-5460, or a MUD). Top-level phones are blank on purpose—check lease/prior bill. Do not assume one city serves every address.

Who handles trash pickup in 78729?

City of Austin ARR, Round Rock, MUD, or private hauler depending on address. Confirm with landlord or utility bill. Multifamily often private.

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

Texas Gas Service is the typical LDC for many Austin-area / Luling addresses. Start 800-700-2443. Suspected leak: leave immediately, then call 911 and TGS 800-959-5325. Round Rock fringe may be Atmos instead—address-verify. Natural gas is not retail-choice like electricity.

Is electricity regulated or competitive here?

Only Oncor parcels are competitive. Austin Energy, PEC, and Georgetown Utility Systems customers generally cannot shop REPs.

Does Austin use Houston or Dallas 311?

No—Austin has its own 311 (512-974-2000) for many city services. City utility starts often go through Customer Care 512-494-9400 / coautilities.com. Electric outages for Austin Energy go to 512-322-9100, not 311. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.

Which internet providers serve 78729?

Common Austin-metro options include AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber (where built), Spectrum, Astound/Grande, and fixed wireless/5G home internet. Availability varies by building—use each provider’s checker with your full street address. Listing is not a guarantee.

How do I tell Austin Energy / co-op from Oncor competitive wires?

Look at your electric bill logo/payee. Austin Energy and city munis (Georgetown, Luling) bill as the utility (no REP). PEC/Bluebonnet bills are from the cooperative. Oncor delivery shows a separate Retail Electric Provider. Match outage numbers to your bill.
