Residential customers of Sugar Land can expect their utility rates to increase Jan. 1.
According to a Dec. 13 press release, residents with 10,000 gallons of water usage and a winter average of 6,000 gallons can expect their monthly bill to increase by about $10, while those with 5,000 gallons of water usage and a winter average of 3,000 gallons will see about a $7 increase per month.
The rate increase was approved at a September Sugar Land City Council meeting and is a part of the integrated water resource plan that was passed in 2019.
“The plan identified a need for the rates due to regulatory requirements and to secure long-term water supplies,” said Doug Adolph, communications director for the city of Sugar Land, in a press release.
