In Stockton, your electricity and gas both come from Pacific Gas & Electric — that held at every address we sampled, and because California doesn't allow retail electricity shopping, PG&E is simply who runs the wires and the meter here. Water is where it splits: California Water Service - Stockton serves most sampled addresses, while the City of Stockton covers about a quarter, and sewer tends to follow the same divide. So two houses on one street can sit with different water utilities.
Stockton grew outward from its deep-water port and downtown grid, spreading over San Joaquin Delta farmland as subdivisions filled in to the north and south. Through all that growth, PG&E's Central Valley territory held steady — move from a century-old bungalow to a new-build cul-de-sac and your electric and gas provider doesn't change. Water and sewer are the pieces that shift from one address to the next, which is exactly what the lookup exists to sort out.

Right at the city limits, things blur. Cross into Manteca, Lathrop, or unincorporated San Joaquin County and the water or sewer provider can change — and some neighboring cities run their own electric utility rather than PG&E. A Stockton mailing address alone doesn't guarantee you're inside the city's service pattern; the lookup reads the exact parcel.

Pacific Gas & Electric. It came up at every Stockton address we sampled, and California doesn't offer retail electricity choice, so there's no competing company to switch to — PG&E runs the poles, wires, and meter for this area. If your neighborhood is enrolled in a community-choice program, that changes who generates your power, but PG&E still delivers it, reads the meter, and handles outages. Use the lookup to confirm your exact address.
Because Stockton's water service is split. California Water Service - Stockton serves most of the addresses we sampled, and the City of Stockton serves about a quarter — and which one holds your home depends on the specific address. Sewer usually follows the same divide, so it's common for two houses on one block to pay two different water utilities. Enter your address in the lookup to see which provider covers your parcel.
Sort them by provider. PG&E is the electricity and gas provider at every address we sampled, so that side is one company covering both services.

Run your address through the lookup first, then contact each provider it returns before your move-in date.
