In Fresno, the wires and the gas lines both belong to Pacific Gas & Electric — the same investor-owned utility runs your electric and your natural gas, which isn't a given everywhere in California. Water and sewer are a different story: those are city-owned, run and maintained by the City of Fresno. So a typical Fresno household deals with PG&E on the energy side and the city on the water side. It's worth confirming both through the lookup, since service is tied to the exact address.

Fresno grew outward across the flat San Joaquin Valley floor, and as new subdivisions were annexed, the city extended its own water and sewer mains to reach them — which is why municipal service maps so closely to the city limits. Meanwhile the Valley's triple-digit summers put heavy cooling demand on PG&E's grid, so the energy provider serving your block is the same one keeping the AC running through July. The two systems grew on different logic.

It depends on your address — even in Fresno

The City of Fresno's water and sewer stop at the city limits. Cross into Clovis or unincorporated Fresno County and those services come from a different system — a separate city, a county district, or a private well — so the address you enter matters right down to the parcel.

The one-minute fix: run your Fresno address through the lookup and skip the guessing.

Moving to Fresno? Your setup checklist

Before your first Fresno summer hits and the AC runs nonstop, walk this checklist so the electric, gas, water, and sewer are all set at your new address.

  1. Confirm your Fresno providers first. Before calling anyone, run your exact Fresno address through the lookup — especially if you're near the Clovis line or in a newly annexed edge of the city..
  2. Start Fresno electric service with Pacific Gas & Electric Co. about 3–5 business days out. Signup is direct with Pacific Gas & Electric Co. — Fresno has no plan-shopping step.
  3. Set up Fresno water and sewer with City of fresno. Allow a few business days; bring ID and your Fresno lease or closing date — call (559) 621-2489.
  4. Gas check: does your Fresno home use it? If yes, start with Pacific Gas & Electric Co. ((800) 743-5000); all-electric Fresno homes skip this one.
  5. Keep your confirmation numbers. Fresno landlords and title companies often want proof that Fresno utilities are in your name from day one.

Fresno utility questions, answered

Who is the electric company in Fresno, CA?

At every one of the Fresno addresses we sampled, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. was the electric utility. The exact Fresno provider depends on the address.

Can I choose my electricity provider in Fresno?

Generally no — Fresno electric territory is fixed by address: the utility holding your Fresno block is your utility, and at every one of sampled Fresno addresses that was Pacific Gas & Electric Co. — Fresno is a one-signup town.

Who provides water in Fresno?

At every one of the Fresno addresses we sampled, City of fresno was the water provider — sewer included. Other districts take over around Fresno's edges, so check your block.

Does every Fresno home have natural gas?

No — at every one of the sampled Fresno addresses, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. was the gas utility, but plenty of Fresno homes are all-electric and never open this account.

Who is my electric provider in Fresno?

At addresses across Fresno, Pacific Gas & Electric is the electric utility. California doesn't offer retail electricity choice, so you don't shop for a provider — the company holding your territory serves you. If your area has joined a community-choice program, that group may handle the generation portion, but PG&E still owns the wires, reads the meter, and restores outages. Confirm your address with the lookup.

Does the City of Fresno handle my water and sewer?

At addresses across Fresno, yes — water and sewer are municipal services run by the City of Fresno, completely separate from your PG&E energy service. You arrange them with the city rather than a private company. Keep in mind this is tied to being inside the city limits; a home in Clovis or unincorporated county gets water and sewer from a different provider. The lookup shows what applies to your address.

Is my gas company different from my electric company in Fresno?

In Fresno, no — Pacific Gas & Electric is the provider for both natural gas and electricity. Some California cities split those between two companies, but here the same investor-owned utility handles both energy types. The real split in Fresno is between energy and water: PG&E covers gas and electric, while the City of Fresno covers water and sewer. Check your specific address with the lookup.
