Curbside Leaf Recycling
City Council adopts new water rate
The City Council adopted a new water and wastewater rate
that goes into effect Dec. 1.
Council adopted the new rate structure at its Nov. 15
meeting, following months of work to see this council
priority through. Water customers will see the rate change
in the bills they receive in January.
The rate structure includes a flat volumetric rate of $4.17
per 1,000 gallons and a varied base rate depending on the
size of the water meter. Most residences have a 1" meter
or smaller, which has a $14.01 base rate.

Senior Holiday Party
This party takes place from 6:00-
9:00 p.m. at the Senior Center and
features entertainment, dinner,
and the famous gift exchange. The
entry fee is $15 and there is a $10
limit for gifts. Register by Dec. 5
by calling 817.503.1195.
The wastewater rate is comprised of a volumetric rate of
$2.31 per 1,000 gallons for both residential and non-
residential properties and a base rate of $12.54 for
residential and $18.54 for non-residential customers.
The rate structure includes a fixed base charge that covers
the City's cost of utility operations and maintenance. The
variable portion of the rate is the charge set by the Trinity
River Authority per 1,000 gallons of water. This rate
structure design reduces the Colleyville's risk by insuring
the City will recover the costs of operating the utility
system independently of the amount of water used. Now
that the City's distribution costs and the Trinity River
Authority costs are separated into the fixed and variable
portions of the bill, no water or wastewater use is included
in the base rate.
