Where this answer comes from.
Each of these has its own page naming the office that publishes it, how often it updates, and what it cannot answer. Rebuilt from the ParcelOps source directory on September 9, 2026.
PUCT Texas Water & Sewer Service Areas
Which Texas utility is obligated to serve a point with retail water or sewer, and whether that boundary is contested.
EIA Electricity Data
Official US electricity plants, generators, output, fuel mix, and retirement schedules.
ERCOT Grid Supply & Demand
Public system-wide ERCOT supply, demand, and six-day forecast context.
Would answer this, not connected yet.
These sit in the same part of the ParcelOps directory and are not live, so they add nothing to the answer above today. They are named because a page that hides the unfinished half of itself is the thing this whole family is arguing against: FCC Broadband Availability.
Where this stops.
The part a search result will not tell you, and the part worth reading before this answer goes into a decision.
- An obligation to serve is not capacity at the property line. Whether a site can actually be served, and at what cost, comes out of a utility study.
- Electric retail territory is set state by state and is not published as one national file that anyone can query.
- Gas service territory is not covered here at all.
What people ask next.
Why does Texas answer this and my state does not?
Because Texas regulates retail water and sewer through certificates of convenience and necessity, and the commission publishes those service area boundaries as mapped data. That makes the obligated provider a spatial question with a published answer. Most states hold the same information in a form that is not published as a queryable boundary, so there is nothing to read. ParcelOps says nothing rather than guessing from a billing address.
Can this tell me whether there is enough water or power for a project?
No, and no public record can. A service area boundary tells you who is responsible. A published grid picture tells you what generation and demand look like across a region. Capacity at a specific property line is decided by a utility study and an interconnection process, and treating a screen as a substitute for one is the mistake this page exists to prevent.
Questions people ask alongside this one.
What water system serves this address, and has it been in violation?
Public water systems reporting service to a county, with each system’s violation history. Why this is a candidate list rather than a parcel level answer.
Who runs the grid at this site?
Balancing authority, nearby plants and generators with fuel and retirement dates, and live Texas system data. What a public grid record can and cannot tell a site selector.
What environmental records exist for this site?
Federal environmental records are organized around regulated facilities, not parcels. Permits, inspections, violations, and emissions near an address, tied together by identifier.
Who do I call before digging?
Call 811 before you dig, in every state, free. What a public record screen can show you before that call, and why marks on the ground only come from a locate.
Is there a pipeline near this property?
Mapped hazardous liquid and gas transmission lines near a coordinate with the operator on each, plus county mileage. Why the public map is generalized on purpose.
Which internet providers reported service at this address?
Provider reported fixed broadband by census block, as reported in the June 2021 FCC filing round, not current buildout. What reported availability has always meant.
The lanes this question belongs to.
A lane page lists every source that kind of work reads, not only the ones behind this question, and states where the whole lane stops.
Run it on a property you already know.
The free plan includes 50 tool calls for the life of the account. They never expire and never refill, and there is no credit card. Ask this question about an address whose answer you can check.
