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 the cost of providing water services. Wholesale water
represents 31.3% of the Water and Wastewater Fund budget, and costs are anticipated to increase based
upon both the five-year consumption model and Fort Worth increasing costs by 1.3%. As such, the pass-
thru water rate will increase for the year. The city rate will increase by 2.0%, which is related to the
issuance of debt as well as the undertaking of water capital projects. The city rate increase is also related
to higher levels of precipitation in the spring and early summer of FY 2019-20 months. Even with the city
rate increase, the combined impact on the average household will be a 1.6% increase, or an increase of
$1.25 per month.
