FAQ · 79745
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 79745?
It depends on your street: Oncor (competitive; outage 888-313-4747; CS 888-313-6862) or TNMP West Texas (competitive; outage 888-866-7456). Both allow REP shopping. Rare RGEC non-competitive fringe possible. Check your bill or ESI ID.
Who do I call when the power goes out?
Match the TDU on your bill: Oncor 888-313-4747, TNMP 888-866-7456, or RGEC 800-749-1509 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 79745?
Contact City of Kermit — Utility Office at 432-586-3468 or use the city’s published start/portal links. Kermit Utility Office 432-586-3468 / 432-586-3469 (billing.dept@cityofkermit.net). Administration 432-586-3460. Confirm city limits vs Winkler County rural / Wink fringe.
Who handles trash pickup in 79745?
City of Kermit sanitation (confirm with Utility Office). Phone: 432-586-3468. Confirm Kermit city sanitation with Utility Office 432-586-3468. Multifamily may use private haulers.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
Piped gas is not confirmed for every 79745 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?
Oncor and TNMP parcels: delivery regulated via the TDU; energy supply is competitive via REPs. Co-op parcels generally cannot shop REPs. Address-verify before comparing plans.
Does Kermit 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 79745?
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.
How do I tell competitive Oncor/TNMP wires from a co-op?
Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. Oncor or TNMP delivery bills show the TDU with a separate REP. Co-op bills (RGEC, SWTEC, Lyntegar) are from the cooperative (no REP shopping). Match outage numbers to the provider on the bill.
