*** NOTICE TO PUBLIC ***
On June 24, 2024, Texas Water Utilities filed an application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) for a rate review. You will be receiving notice of this filing because you are current Texas Water Utilities customers. TWU is proposing a single, sustainable water rate and wastewater rate for all customers across the state. This rate reflects the true costs of delivering service including infrastructure investments and enhances the long-term viability of all water and wastewater systems. Before any rate changes can become effective, TWU's proposal will be reviewed by the PUC to ensure the underlying costs are prudent and reasonable. If there are further questions please email TXCustomerCare@swwc.com.
