Water and Wastewater Rate Notice | |
|
The inflationary index of 8.2% combined with the population increase of 1% results in an automatic annual water and wastewater rate increase of 9.2% on April 1, 2023.
These rate adjustments are necessary to pay increases in the cost of operating, maintaining, and repairing the combined water and wastewater utility system, debt service on the utility system's bonds and other obligations of the utility system, protect the financial integrity of the utility system, and comply with certain bond covenants and all other applicable law.
Use the rate calculator at www.Houstonwater.org to calculate your water and wastewater charges.
