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 included a ten percent water rate increase and a ten percent sewer rate increase to
cover the increased costs of those services. The city purchases sanitation (trash/recycling)
services through a third-party contractor; those rates were increased by five percent. 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
adjustment, 12% TMRS rate, and $1,600/month city paid benefit package that include
insurance plans, health, and daycare spending accounts.
