Odessa Faces Water Revenue Deficit and Rate Hike
After a month under new restrictions Odessa reports April water sales of 1.56 million dollars versus 1.85 million the prior year. The city approves a 40 percent rate increase to balance the water sewer fund, with residents protesting. A shifted agreement with CRMWD adds brackish groundwater and a desalination bid, while CRMWD upgrades include 45 mile pipeline and 21 new wells to boost supply. Rainfall later eases restrictions and lifts some limits, though usage remains below pre-drought levels.
