Moving to Liberty Hill and unsure who turns on your water, power, and internet? You’re not alone. Service boundaries here can be tricky, and a Liberty Hill mailing address doesn’t always mean City of Liberty Hill utilities. This guide shows you who typically serves each utility and how to confirm providers for your exact address. Let’s dive in.
Utility providers at a glance
- Water & wastewater: City of Liberty Hill for many addresses inside city limits; some subdivisions use City of Georgetown or City of Leander for water while Liberty Hill provides sewer. Start with the City’s New Customers guidance to verify by street address. Review the City’s guidance.
- Electricity: Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) serves most Liberty Hill homes. See PEC start/stop service.
- Natural gas: Atmos Energy is the primary gas provider. Check Atmos move-in.
- Trash & recycling: Varies by subdivision, MUD, or HOA. Example: Stonewall Ranch MUD changed to Republic Services effective April 2025. See the district update.
- Internet/TV/phone: Address-specific; options often include AT&T, Spectrum, 5G home internet, and satellite. Run an exact-address check.
Water and wastewater
If you live inside Liberty Hill city limits, the City often manages water and wastewater billing and service. That said, several subdivisions in the Liberty Hill area receive potable water from City of Georgetown or City of Leander, while Liberty Hill may still handle sewer. The City instructs all new customers to confirm providers by physical street address.
How to confirm your water/sewer provider
- Start with the City of Liberty Hill New Customers page to see common subdivision assignments and steps to open an account.
- Use Texas’ official mapping tools to verify retail service boundaries by address. Open the PUCT CCN Viewer and confirm the water and wastewater providers for your location.
Electricity
Pedernales Electric Cooperative is the distribution and retail provider for Liberty Hill addresses within PEC’s territory. You’ll set up membership and service directly with PEC, including connect, disconnect, and outage reporting. Start or stop service with PEC.
Considering solar
If you’re planning rooftop solar, PEC supports interconnection and publishes program details and policies. Review interconnection steps early so your installer aligns design and metering with PEC’s requirements. Explore PEC’s solar and distributed generation guidance.
Natural gas
Atmos Energy serves most Liberty Hill addresses that have pipeline gas. Use the move-in tools to check if your address is in Atmos’ service area and to set up your account. View Atmos move-in steps.
For suspected gas leaks, leave the area and call 911 first, then Atmos’ 24/7 emergency line at 866-322-8667. Atmos also shares safety alerts and contact guidance. Review Atmos safety contacts.
Trash and recycling
Trash and recycling are not one-size-fits-all. Inside city limits, check municipal pages for pickup rules. In many subdivisions and MUDs, the district or HOA contracts a hauler and either bills through the district or directs you to set up service. As one example, Stonewall Ranch MUD moved to Republic Services starting April 2025. See the Stonewall Ranch notice and the MUD’s trash and recycling page for how districts typically communicate service changes.
Internet and TV
Availability is highly address-specific. You may see fiber or cable options in some areas and fixed wireless or satellite in others. Always run an exact-address check to avoid surprises about speeds or install timelines. Check current availability for your address.
Rural and acreage properties
Outside defined service areas, some homes rely on private wells and on-site sewage facilities (septic). If you’re buying rural, plan inspections and confirm permits and maintenance history. Williamson County administers septic permitting and inspections and provides buyer guidance. Learn about OSSF permits and inspections.
Move-in setup checklist
Before closing
- Ask the seller for provider names and recent bills for water, sewer, electric, gas, trash, and internet.
- If utilities are unclear, confirm water/sewer via the City’s New Customers page and the PUCT CCN Viewer.
- Buying rural? Schedule well and septic inspections; review county guidance.
7–14 days before move
- Set up electric service with PEC. Start here.
- Set up natural gas with Atmos if available at your address. Start here.
- Confirm trash and recycling through your city, MUD, or HOA and request carts if needed. See a typical MUD process.
- Check internet options at your exact address and schedule installation. Run an address check.
Move-in day and after
- Make meters accessible, document initial meter readings, and keep account numbers and confirmation emails.
- Save photos of meter reads and your setup confirmations for your records.
Fees, deposits, and billing
- City water/wastewater accounts may require deposits and have published late-fee and disconnect policies. Check the City’s utility billing pages or call Utility Billing for current deposit amounts and payment options.
- PEC may require identification and a refundable security deposit depending on credit. Member programs include various payment options and assistance.
- Atmos may require ID to determine any deposit at move-in. Follow safety instructions and call their emergency line for suspected leaks.
Safety and outage quick tips
- Electricity outage or streetlight issue: contact PEC using your account tools and outage reporting lines.
- Smell gas: leave immediately, call 911, then Atmos at 866-322-8667.
