1. What is the IWRP and how does it affect my water bill?

The Integrated Water Resources Plan (IWRP) was recently adopted by City Council - the result of several years of work by the IWRP Task Force. The IWRP includes recommendations on how best to meet the long term water needs for our city, considering the cost, reliability and yield of new water supply options.  For more information, please visit: http://www.sugarlandtx.gov/1747/Integrated-Water-Resource-Plan

2. Will I continue to see a surface water charge on my water bill?

Yes, you will still see the same detailed lines on your monthly bill, rates will increase for services billed after January 1, 2020.  The rate increase is needed to support increased costs of providing water  and capital investment necessary to meet the next mandated groundwater usage reduction of 60%.  Your water bill will continue to show the following detail lines:

• Water Charge (monthly base + volume)
• Surface Water Charge (volume only)
• Wastewater Charge (monthly base + volume based on winter average)
• Solid Waste Charge
• Sales Tax for Solid Waste
