Pflugerville water, wastewater rates to increase

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 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.
