FAQ · 79532
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 79532?
It depends on your street: Oncor (competitive; outage 888-313-4747; CS 888-313-6862) or Big Country Electric Cooperative (non-competitive; outage 855-940-3872). Check your bill or ESI ID.
Who do I call when the power goes out?
Match the provider on your bill: Oncor 888-313-4747 or BCEC 855-940-3872. Your REP (if any) does not restore poles/wires. Downed line: 911 + electric provider.
How do I start water service when I move into 79532?
Provider varies by street in Loraine / 79532 (small city, WSC, special district, or well). Top-level phones are blank on purpose—check your lease, prior bill, city hall, or TCEQ drinking-water lookup. Do not assume Sweetwater, Snyder, Merkel, Colorado City, Clyde, Winters, Anson, or Stamford service outside those footprints.
Who handles trash pickup in 79532?
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?
Piped gas is not confirmed for every 79532 address—many rural west-central homes use propane. Where Atmos Mid-Tex serves, start 888-286-6700; leak 866-322-8667. Suspected leak: leave immediately, then call 911 and your gas provider from a safe place.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
Oncor parcels: delivery regulated via TDU; energy supply is competitive via REPs. BCEC members generally cannot shop REPs. Address-verify before comparing plans.
Does Loraine use Houston or Dallas 311?
No—west-central Texas / Abilene–Sweetwater–Snyder communities do not use Houston 311 or Dallas 311. Use the local utility/city contacts in this packet. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 79532?
Common options include AT&T, Spectrum, Suddenlink/Optimum (where footprint exists), Frontier, and local WISPs; availability thins in rural Fisher/Haskell/Kent/Stonewall/Knox areas. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address. This packet does not guarantee service at every unit.
How do I tell competitive Oncor/AEP wires from a co-op?
Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. Oncor or AEP delivery bills show the TDU with a separate REP. Co-op bills (BCEC, Taylor EC) are from the cooperative (no REP shopping). Match outage numbers to the provider on the bill.
