Bastrop Utilities Guide: What to Know About Water, Power, and Internet Providers

New to Bastrop? One of the first things you’ll need to get set up in your new home is utilities—but unlike big cities, providers here can vary by subdivision, location, or water district.

This quick-start utility guide helps you avoid surprises.


💧 Water & Sewer Providers in Bastrop

Depending on where you live, your water provider may be:

  • City of Bastrop Utility Services (inside city limits)
  • BCWCID #2 – Common in Tahitian Village
  • Aqua Water Supply Corporation – Serves many rural and east Bastrop areas

Check subdivision docs before moving in to confirm your provider.


⚡ Electric Providers

  • Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative – The most common in Bastrop
  • Entergy Texas – In some areas near county borders
  • Most homes are not in deregulated zones, so you can’t choose your provider.

Internet quality varies—ask before you buy!

  • Optimum (formerly Suddenlink) – Cable internet in most neighborhoods
  • AT&T Fiber – Available in newer developments (The Colony, parts of Pecan Park)
  • Rise Broadband or Satellite – Common in rural or wooded areas like Circle D

🗑️ Trash & Recycling

Varies by area:

  • City of Bastrop handles in-town waste
  • Rural homes may use private haulers (Waste Management, Republic Services)
