Water and wastewater rates will increase after Colleyville Council approves the proposal from the Trinity River Authority, which provides water treatment for the city.
What’s happening?: The new water rate is based on the volume of treated water used and the new wastewater rate is based on volume of wastewater treated, per city documents.
The water rate will be $6.66 per 1,000 gallons, which is a 6.63% increase from the 2025 water rate, Colleyville Finance Director Cassie Smith said. The new wastewater rate will be $4.79 per 1,000 gallons, which is nearly an 11% increase.
Diving deeper: The volumetric rate is a separate component of the base rate that council approved in September, per previous reporting.
A customer's total bill will include the volumetric rate for water and wastewater, the water and wastewater base rates and a monthly Capital Improvement Projects rate, which is a separate base rate used to fund capital projects with cash and avoid debt, according to city documents.
