Setting Up Utilities in Daingerfield, Texas

Power comes from Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO), the regulated utility across Morris County and the rest of this corner of Northeast Texas, so you open an account with SWEPCO rather than comparing plans.
The City of Daingerfield runs water and sewer from its office on Linda Drive, trash is arranged through the city, CenterPoint Energy provides natural gas, and Kinetic reports the widest internet coverage in town (94% of homes on the FCC broadband map).

SWEPCO is the regulated utility here: you set up service directly with them, the rate is state-regulated, and SWEPCO is who you call about outages.
