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 no increase in the sewer rate to cover
the increased costs of those services. The 10-year budget projections include a ten percent
increase annually in both water and sewer costs. 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 three 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.
