Pflugerville residents can expect higher water and wastewater bills beginning in November, based on October usage under an approved rate schedule tied to the city’s fiscal year 2025-26 budget.

City officials said the increases are necessary to cover rising costs in water delivery, equipment, and inflation, while supporting long-term system maintenance and capacity expansion.

The overview

The average residential customer with a standard-sized water meter would pay slightly more each month, while larger properties with bigger meters would see a steeper adjustment. Customers will see small increases in the rate per 1,000 gallons of water used.
Wastewater charges are also set to rise gradually over the next several years, reflecting similar cost pressures and infrastructure needs.
The adjustments also include a few smaller fee changes, such as:


  • A $30 setup fee for new residential accounts


  • A $50 fee for new commercial accounts


  • Updated retail wastewater rates based on average winter usage
Another update is the catastrophic leak credit policy, which allows customers to request a bill adjustment in the event of a major water leak. Under the new policy, requests must be submitted within 90 days of the repair, and only one credit will be allowed per household every three years.

What’s next

The higher rates will help fund ongoing water and wastewater projects, according to a press release by the city of Pflugerville, including an expansion of the city’s water treatment plant, construction of a new wastewater facility, and installation of a secondary water line to Lake Pflugerville.


These projects are expected to more than double the city’s treatment capacity and meet long-term growth demands.

The updates also align with feedback from the city’s 2025 community survey, where residents ranked water and wastewater infrastructure among their top concerns. Learn more about the city’s water rate adjustments here.
