Houston Utility Services - Houston Apartment electric, phone, water, gas, tv, and internet services

Power and water are the two most basic utility services required for living the modern age. Water service is provided by the city water department, which is responsible for the cleaning, distribution, and maintenance of the water itself as well as the equipment used. Funding for municipal water departments comes from taxes and monthly household usage bills. Electricity was deregulated in Houston  in 1999, since then any electric utility company can sell power to an individual or business at competitive prices.

Apartment Utilities - Rent will often include sewer, water, trash and pest control. Gas and electricity are almost always paid separately by the tenant. Generally, the apartment community you choose will provide you with all local utility services information and assistance.
