The rate order has been revised to reflect an “Equal Share” approach to the distribution of water and treatment of sewage for the district. The miscellaneous fee schedule remains unchanged from the existing Rate Order. The rate change approach was encouraged and supported by the state to promote water conservation and bring the district up to the state required emergency funds following hurricane Ike.
The Kemah Volunteer Fire Department received approval of a $10.00 per unit assessment during the last election and the current assessment approved by the board is $7.00 per unit based on their 5 year plan.. The detail for the determination of the units determination is in the rate information page 19.
Water & Sewer Rates
All the meter rates included 2,000 gallons at $3.75/ 1000 gallon as part of the rate. The new water rate schedule is as follows based on the installed meter sizes:
5/8 inch = $ 10.00
3/4 Inch = $10.00
1 inch = $13.00
1-½ inch= $18.00
2 inch = $24.00
2-½ inch = $32.00
3 inch = $40.00
4 inch = $58.00
6 inch = $107.00
The rates for the meter and water apply for both Residential and Commercial meters. Additional water usage over the 2,000 gallons up to 20,000 gallons will be billed at $4.00 per thousand gallons. All water usage over 20,000 gallons will be billed at $5.00 per thousand gallons.
The sewer rate is the same as the water rate based on meter size and water usage unless the meter is installed as an irrigation meter.
All Irrigation water meters will be at the same meter rates as above with additional water usage over the initial 2,000 gallons at $7.00 per thousand gallons.
NOTICE: There is no sewer charge for the irrigation meter for residential or commercial users.
Out of district would be required to be billed with the surcharge as determined by the Appraisal District with only one surcharge assessed per combined water and sewer connection using the current tax rate.
