WATER FUND
Water is funded through the sale of water, sewer fees, and sanitation fees. The city purchases
water and sewer services from the City of Fort Worth, and charges rates to recover the full cost
of both the fixed and variable costs associated with maintaining those infrastructures. This
budget includes a seven percent water rate increase and a 12% sewer rate increase to cover
the increase costs of those services. The city purchases sanitation (trash/recycling) services
through a third-party contractor. Expenses include a debt service payment, four full-time
employees, and all other costs associated with operating and maintaining city utility services.
Payroll includes a five percent cost of living and merit adjustment, 12% TMRS rate, and
$1000/month city paid insurance benefit.
