Guess that’s a way to collect extra money from us minions.

But 9% right out of the gate?

Seems they would put the tip in first.

Our neighbor moved here last May from Livingston TX where they have a MUD and was telling me that he always pays 3x in water/sewage than where he came from.

Don’t forget they have overbilled a lot of their customers already.

Smart people put a LOT of thought into where they live. Big cities are NOT a smart move.

Try to find smaller suburban incorporated cities adjacent so worst case scenario you can get politically active and actually make a difference.

Instead of DFW go Mid Cities for instance. The costs, quality, and freedom are worth the extra travel time of 15-30 minutes.

Wait I thought Texas was the land of milk and honey and Louisiana is the only overtaxed state? Or at least that’s what this board tells me.

Politicians that are found to be spending just to spend should be tried and convicted of treason. It's insane to me just how much bloat exists at every level of government.

Every year for the last five or so, thieves, or perhaps Robin Hood’s.

Yet they still haven't installed 90% of the digital meters they promised.

I live in a small town and wish they’d collected and spent money on infrastructure sooner. Now the water infrastructure is outdated and needs to be replaced. Where’s the money gonna come from? Ain’t nobody gonna pay more in taxes.
