Missouri City City Council adopted new water and sewer service fees for the recently annexed Sienna Municipal Utility District No. 2 during an Oct. 2 meeting.

The gist

Council voted unanimously to adopt the water and wastewater services fee schedule for Sienna Municipal Utility District No. 2. According to meeting documents, the new fees include:

• Single-family residential water rates of $26.10 for up to 10,000 gallons of metered water, $2 per 1,000 gallons over 10,000 and $2.50 per 1,000 gallons over 20,000
• Multifamily residential water rates of a $30 base fee per unit and $1.38 per 1,000 gallons of metered water used
• Single-family residential sewer rates of $28.26 monthly
• Multifamily residential sewer rates of a $40 base fee per unit and $2.21 per 1,000 gallons of metered water used

Updating the fee schedule will allow Missouri City to “better support department funding” and “set realistic expectations for cost recovery,” according to meeting documents.

The new fee schedule is effective starting Nov. 1.

In case you missed it

On Sept. 5, Missouri City council opted—in a 5-2 vote—to annex Sienna Municipal Utility District No. 2, as previously reported by Community Impact. The action adds about 6,000 residents and 1,600 homes to the city, expanding its boundaries.

Tax revenue from the district will be received beginning Oct. 1, 2024.

Residents can determine which MUD their home is part of on the Fort Bend Central Appraisal District website.
