In Waco, electric delivery is handled by Oncor — and since Waco sits in Texas's deregulated market, you pick your own Waco retail plan; Atmos Energy is Waco's natural-gas utility; City of Waco handles Waco's water and sewer. The exact lineup depends on your Waco address — even nearby Killeen and Round Rock answer differently.

Waco sits halfway down the I-35 corridor between Dallas and Austin, with a utility lineup that matches its position: deregulated electricity through the regional delivery utility, regional gas, and city water and sewer. The surrounding McLennan County towns — Woodway, Hewitt, Bellmead — each run their own water systems.
Waco's footprint hugs both banks of the Brazos, with Baylor anchoring the southeast edge of downtown. Between the university calendar and the post-renovation-boom building wave, Waco sees more mid-year moves than most Texas cities its size — all the more reason to get the utility sequence right the first time. Our samples ran from East Waco across to Bosque Boulevard and returned one consistent lineup on both banks of the river.
Move into one of Waco's older neighborhoods — the pier-and-beam bungalows around Sanger Heights, the brick ranches off Lake Air Drive — and there's a good chance the water heater and furnace burn gas, which makes an Atmos Energy account worth setting up even if you arrive in the dead of August and won't touch the heat until Thanksgiving. Summer is when the electric side matters most: because Oncor territory is a choice market, the retail plan you pick determines how those long stretches of triple-digit afternoons show up on your bill. Water and sewer both come from the City of Waco — the one part of the lineup that requires no shopping around, whatever the season.

Oncor — Waco's TDU — owns the wires here, the same delivery setup as Waco's neighbors Killeen and Round Rock, and restores Waco outages ((888) 313-6862) whoever you pay. Your separately chosen Waco plan (compare at Power to Choose) sets the rate on your Waco bill — full wires-vs-plans explainer here.
Waco itself is standard; just don't apply its answers to the surrounding towns that share its area code.
Oncor is the TDU for Waco — the wires-and-meters utility — at every one of the Waco addresses we sampled. You pick the retail plan that sets your Waco rate; Oncor delivers either way.
At every one of the Waco addresses we sampled, City of Waco was the water provider — sewer included. Other districts take over around Waco's edges, so check your block.
No — at every one of the sampled Waco addresses, Atmos Energy was the gas utility, but plenty of Waco homes are all-electric and never open this account.
No — they're separate cities with their own water systems, even though they share Waco's phone book. Waco's answers only apply inside Waco; each surrounding town needs its own lookup.
Oncor, at every address we sampled — and because Waco is in the retail-choice market, you pick the plan that rides on those wires.
The central Waco addresses in our sampling matched the citywide lineup, but near-campus complexes often roll water or even electricity into the lease instead of having you open accounts. Read the lease first, then set up only what it leaves to you.
Oncor. In a choice market, the name on your electric bill is a retailer — it sells you the plan but doesn't own a single pole or wire. Oncor is the delivery utility that maintains the lines and restores outages, and our sampling found it at every Waco address we checked. Picking a cheaper plan doesn't get you slower repairs; the wires side never changes. Run the lookup to confirm the setup at your exact address before comparing plans.
