Important Update Regarding Our Service Rates

Dear Customer,

After careful consideration of the rising operational cost, we consulted with our Texas Rural Water Association (TRWA) representative. He figured our new rate calculations based on the last three years’ averages of audits. As a result of his findings, we regretfully must adjust our rates to keep up with expenses. This is a necessary step to continue to provide you with a Non-Profit water service.

Our current base rate of $65.00 will increase to $82.00, plus tax, along with continuing the debt surcharge of $20.00. The surcharge is for our USDAS loans for all the upgrades like our new pump station new 8” main water line and many other upgrades. Each billing cycle the following rates will be added per the amount of water used.

$14.75 per 1,000 for 0 to 5,000 gallons

$29.00 per 1,000 for 5,001 to 10,000 gallons

$30.00 per 1,000 for 10,001 to 20,000 gallons

$31.00 per 1,000 gallons for 20,001 gallons and over

What that means for you is the billing cycle for April 2025, that is due May 10, 2025, will reflect the new rates.

Thank you for your understanding as we make the necessary adjustments to continue serving you with the highest standards. We truly value our customers.

Best Regards,

Board of Directors

Morton Valley WSC
