LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) -
Lubbock City Council on Thursday takes up a big change to local water bills. Mayor Glen Robertson proposed the idea that those who conserve water should get a price break and those who are less frugal should pay more.
If approved, the monthly meter fee will go down from $28 to $21 for those on a 3/4-inch meter. Or, for those on a 1-inch meter, the monthly fee will go down from $46.74 to $35.06.
However, the cost of using water per thousand gallons will go up.
Block 1 goes from $2.67 to $4.00 - Block 2 goes from $4.29 to $5.46 – and Block 3 goes from $5.93 to $6.55.
The new rater rate structure is part of the fiscal 2012/2013 budget. Public comments will be heard Thursday at 6:15 PM in the City Council chambers.
