The water rate structure is split between costs related to the purchase of wholesale water from the City
of Fort Worth, also called the “pass-thru” and cost of providing water services. Wholesale water represent
34.8% of the Water and Wastewater Fund budget and costs are anticipated to decreased based upon a
the five-year consumption model, even though Fort Worth costs are increasing by 4.5%. As such, the
pass-thru water rate will not increase for the year. The city rate will increase by 3.75% which is related
to the issuance of debt for Alta Vista Pump Station and Alta Vista Transmission Main. The combined
impact on the average household will be 1.63% or $1.25 per month.
