Setting Up Utilities in Seven Points, Texas
The Public Utility Commission's service-area map puts Seven Points inside Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative's territory. TVEC is a member-owned co-op outside the deregulated market, so you sign up with TVEC directly instead of shopping for a retail provider. Power to Choose does list Oncor plans for ZIP 75143, but that ZIP is shared with Tool and the surrounding lake area — confirm with TVEC by street address before you shop.
Like its Cedar Creek Lake neighbors, the rest of the setup runs through special districts and private companies rather than a city department: water and sewer come from West Cedar Creek Municipal Utility District, trash is contracted with a private hauler, piped gas is limited (propane is common), and Nextlink Internet reports the widest internet coverage in town (82% of homes on the FCC broadband map).

Seven Points sits inside Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative's service area on the Public Utility Commission's map.
