FAQ · 79739
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 79739?
Oncor Electric Delivery is typically the TDU that delivers electricity and restores outages in 79739 (Garden City / Glasscock)—the Midland–Odessa Permian competitive wires company. You pick a Retail Electric Provider (REP). Outages: 888-313-4747; CS 888-313-6862. Rural edges may touch TNMP or co-ops—verify ESI ID.
Who do I call when the power goes out?
Call Oncor at 888-313-4747, text OUT to 66267 if enrolled, or use oncor.com outage tools. Your REP does not restore wires or poles. Downed line: stay away, call 911 and Oncor. If your bill shows TNMP or a co-op, use that provider’s outage number instead.
How do I start water service when I move into 79739?
Provider varies by street in Garden City / 79739 (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 Midland, Odessa, Big Spring, or Fort Stockton service outside those footprints.
Who handles trash pickup in 79739?
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 79739 address—many rural Permian homes use propane. Where Atmos West Texas 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?
Delivery is regulated through Oncor as TDU. Energy supply is competitive—you choose among licensed REPs. Compare the Electricity Facts Label at your expected kWh usage. Co-op or municipal fringe generally cannot shop REPs.
Does Garden City use Houston or Dallas 311?
No—Permian Basin / Midland–Odessa 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 79739?
Common options include AT&T, Spectrum, Suddenlink/Optimum (where footprint exists), and Frontier; availability thins in rural Reeves/Pecos/Loving/Upton areas. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address. This packet does not guarantee service at every unit.
What should I do before digging in the yard?
Call 811 (Texas 811) before any digging or landscaping that disturbs soil so underground electric, gas, water, and telecom lines can be marked. Hitting a line can be dangerous and costly.
