Royse City Water, Sewer Rates Going Up

Royse City Water, Sewer Rates Going Up

Residents in Royse City will be paying a little more than normal for their water and sewer service beginning Nov. 1.

The city received a letter from the North Texas Municipal Water District indicating they used 50 million more gallons of water than they were allotted to use.

The district was originally contracted to use 470 million gallons of water.  By using 520 million, they now owe the district as much as $95,000.

The rate increases for residents will increase between $3 and $9.

Without the increase the city's water and sewer revenue would barely exceed expenses, forcing the city to dip into their reserve fund.

NBC 5's Tammy Mutasa contributed to this report.
