It explains that water rates will increase by 9.2%. This is an automatic adjustment that occurs every year. The increase is based on inflation.


Thank you to our government and high inflation.

Genuinely curious, I actually don't see as much hate for Houston around these parts. That said, I DO have a first cousin in Dallas and one time mistakenly mentioned that he lived in Houston and he was offended!

That’s because Houston and Dallas have some rivalry thing going on city wise.

It’s a big city so sure, but the suburbs are significantly nicer in every way

Yeah I don’t understand it either. Both cities are great. I will say I find the people of Houston to be friendlier. Houston people remind me of Louisiana people and Dallas people remind me of New York people.

Baton Rouge just did the same this month.

Between water/sewer my bill for March went up 30% no noticeable usage increase in the last 6 months.

Legal extortion.

BR is smaller than that. They claim the metro is 800k but some of the places they include in that number are rather ridiculous. It's really more like 500k or so.

Houston is about to surpass Baton Rouge in shittiness if it elects Sheila Jackson Lee mayor.

seriously. i thought that was a joke when announced. Houston will turn into the 3rd world countries that Jackson, Chicago, New Orleans, or Memphis have turned into quick, fast, and in a hurry if Sheila Jackson Lee takes over.
