Dallas rate hikes loom for water and sewer services
Dallas plans raise water rates by 33 percent and sewer charges by 71 percent with possible further increases. Richardson depends on Dallas for 50 to 65 percent of its water and about 25 percent of its sewage treatment. The Dallas council will review new rates in January, with changes likely to take effect February 1 after revisions. EPA mandates and higher energy and chemical costs drive the need for higher rates.
