Water, Sewer & Trash Rates

To review the rates for Water, Sewer, and Refuse Services, please see the Master Fee Schedule.

Sewer Rate Calculation

Sewer rates are calculated on the average water consumption billed on your February and March water billings. The February billing includes part of January’s consumption and part of February’s consumption. The March billing includes the remainder of February’s consumption and part of March’s consumption. This average consumption will be used to calculate your monthly sewer rate for a year beginning in April and ending in March.

Payments

Payments can be made at City Hall located at 922 Estates Drive anytime during normal 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. business hours Monday through Friday. Payments made after 4:30 p.m. will be posted on the next business day. We accept check, cash, and all major credit cards. Payment can also be sent through the mail.

You can also pay through the following options:

  • Online payment portal
  • Payments can be sent by mail.
  • Payment Drop Box – A Drop Box is available for your convenience and is located in the City Hall parking lot. Payments deposited in the Drop Box are picked up at 8 a.m. Monday through Friday.

What do I do if I Have a Water Leak?

If you think you may have detected a water leak, it is important that you call Customer Service at 254.772.4480. There may be assistance available to you for your water bill if you have a leak and it is repaired.

To qualify, your consumption during the leak period must be over 15,000 gallons.

Is there any kind of adjustment to my bill if I have a leak?

If you qualify for an adjustment, you will need to fill out a Request for Water / Sewer Rate Adjustment Form and then provide a receipt for your repair. Your request will take approximately two weeks to process once it has been submitted to the Customer Service Department.

During this process, the Meter Reader will check your meter to make sure your leak has been repaired. We then calculate your adjustment, if applicable. (For more specifics, please read the policy of water use which is part of the Request for Water Rate Adjustment Form.) Once your request has been processed, you will be notified by mail.

If your water leak was during the months used to calculate your averaging sewer rate, you may also request a sewer rate adjustment by completing the Request for Sewer Rate Adjustment.
