New utility rates will go into effect for Pflugerville residents Oct. 1, resulting in a higher bill for most users.
For users with a standard 5/8-inch meter, the base monthly charge for water will increase from $19 to $24 and the volume charge will go up. For wastewater, the base charge will increase from $29 to $31.
According to a city release, the average user can expect to spend $72.10 on water and $57 on wastewater, for a total bill increase of $21.
The release states the increased rates will help to offset inflationary costs and fund several key water and wastewater projects.
