Consider approval of Ordinance No. 10-25 amending Chapter 122 (Utilities), Article III, Rates, Charges and Special Considerations related to water and sewer operations.

Water and sewer rates and fees for Texas City were compared to all the other cities in Galveston County.  It was determined that the water rate, water and sewer deposit and vacation status fees were significantly lower that other cities in Galveston County. These rates and fees should be adjusted at minimum to the next lowest city in the county. This adjustment would enable our utilities department to maintain and improve the drinking water infrastructure in our city.
