How gas works in San Francisco and beyond
Do not stay inside a San Francisco home with a gas odor. Call Pg&E ((800) 743-5000) from a safe place, then 811 before digging.
How water works in San Francisco and beyond
San Francisco is a combined city and county, so its boundaries are unusually clean, but not airtight. Cross south into Daly City or Brisbane and water and sewer responsibility can change even where PG&E's territory continues. Anywhere near the county line, confirm the address before you assume.

At every San Francisco address we sampled, Pacific Gas & Electric is listed for both electricity and gas. California has no retail electric choice, so you can't switch to a competing power company. The utility assigned to your address is the one you get. The city's CleanPowerSF program can supply the generation portion of your electricity, but PG&E still runs the wires, handles delivery, and responds to outages.
Across the addresses we checked in San Francisco, household water is provided by the SFPUC City Distribution Division, and sewer service is handled by the City & County of San Francisco, which is city-run. Because San Francisco is a consolidated city and county, those services tend to be consistent within the limits, but the exact setup for your unit can still vary, so run your address through the lookup rather than assuming it matches a neighbor's.
CleanPowerSF is San Francisco's community-choice aggregation program. Under California's model, it can buy the electricity generation that flows to your home, while PG&E stays the company that delivers that power, maintains the lines, and restores service after an outage. So it doesn't replace PG&E. It works alongside it on the generation side. Everything about the physical connection, including gas, still runs through PG&E in San Francisco.
Pg&E is San Francisco's electric answer. It led 80% of the San Francisco addresses we checked.
