San Antonio Phone Utilities and Services – Numbers and Websites

Moving to a new city (or just down the block) can mean a lot of changes. Who’s the water company? Who’s the power company? Where do I get my license changed? What are my options for cable TV? Does the city pick up my trash or do I have to call someone else? What’s the local newspaper and how do I get it delivered to my home? Here’s a list of handy phone numbers and websites to help answer these questions and more.
