We are excited to be moving up to Greentree Village in just a couple of weeks and I need help in understanding WHO I need to contact in regards to getting my water, sewer, trash transferred over to our name?
Also, on this forum it had indicated that Comcast was a possible cable provider but the address we are moving to is "outside Comcast's footprint" and they can't set up at our house, so can anyone tell me other than Sudden Link, who they use in Greentree?  It looks like with Suddenlink my bill will DOUBLE for what I am getting right now with Comcast....
Thanks!

@KWoodworth1: I believe your only other option for TV is satellite.

I use Suddenlink for internet, they are the better of the evils. I would not even consider them for Cable, I use Dish and I am very happy with them. Greentree is a nice village. You will enjoy being there. If you are interested in a church home, Then try Woodridge Baptist at the corner of Kingwood Drive and Willow Terrace. Welcome to Kingwood. 4951

I live my direct TV and have Suddenstink for cable & phone.  Some people have problems with the internet, but I have never. Some say it's where you are located. I believe you can also get Centurylink for internet.Welcome.... 4951

@retired_engineer who are the providers there????
 
@BooBear:  Thanks for the heads up!@KWoodworth1:  I also live in Greentree Village.  First off, welcome to Greentree Village and Kingwood! The providers here are as follows:Water & Sewer - City of Houston.  Dial 311 for the City Help Line or  www.houstonwaterbill s.houstontx.gov/Gas - Centerpoint, call 713-659-2111Trash - Best Trash, try 281-313-2378. You pay three months at a time, abt $60.  They pick up at the front of your garage as long as you have the trash cans easily visible and assessable.  I don't know about all of Greentree, but our pickup is Wednesday and Saturday.  Put it out the night before or EARLY in the morning. They will provide recycle bins but they will need to be placed curbside.Cable TV - Suddenlink (888-822-5151) or satellite. Suddenlink's office is at 4103 W Lake Houston ParkwayKingwood, TX 77339 right next to the Sonic.Internet - Suddenlink (cable), Century Link (phone), or satellite.  I use Suddenlink, but it really depends on exactly where you live to get the best performance from Suddenlink or Century Link.  The best thing to do is ask your new neighbors.  One street may get better speeds from Suddenlink but another may do better with Century Link.Landline phone and/or Internet - Century Link (281-358-1447) Their local office is at730 Kingwood Dr. Kingwood, TX 77339Let me know if you have any other questions.

@KWoodworth1: We have DirecTV and use CenturyLink for internet and landline. We've had no problems with either.

@KTownTexican:  Unfortunately, the Greentree Village HOA does not have a public website.  You have to get an ID from them to log on to it.  I've already complained to the HOA but it fell on deaf ears. New or potential buyers should be able to access the website as well.BTW, the trash is handled by Best Trash, not Waste Management, in Greentree.  While you can choose your electric provider, you have to go through Reliant to turn it on.  They own the wires and switchgear.

When I called Centerpoint they didn't mention anything about having to call Reliant? Should I be concerned? 4951

@KWoodworth1:   Back about 10 years ago, there was some major reshuffling of energy companies.  Out of that came CenterPoint Energy, Reliant Energy, and Texas Genco.  Reliant and Texas Genco focus on electricity, but CenterPoint Energy has both gas and electricity.  If you discussed electricity with CenterPoint, you may have actually signed up with them for electricity.  If so, hopefully they just put you on a month-to-month plan and not a contract.  If they did,  use www.powertochoose.orgto find an electric service provider.  If you actually signed up for a contract plan with CenterPoint, you'll need to get details of it and how long it lasts.  Good luck!
