Adjusting Rates
In response to rising wholesale water costs, Flower Mound is implementing a rate adjustment that will allow the Town to continue providing residents with a clean, safe, and reliable water supply and waste water service, while also maintaining and building necessary utility infrastructure.

Rising Wholesale Water Costs
Flower Mound receives water from two sources, the Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) and Dallas Water Utilities (DWU). Most wholesale customers pay two fees, an annual "demand charge" and a per gallon "volume" rate.

While the demand charge from DWU has increased at a normal inflationary rate, the demand charge assessed to Flower Mound by the UTRWD has increased from $225,000 per million gallons to $388,110 per million gallons annually since 2005. The 72% hike represents a $5.0 million increase to Flower Mound and positions the UTRWD’s demand charge rate equal to a level the district was not projected to reach until 2017. UTRWD’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 volume rate remained unchanged at $.95 per gallon from the same in 2013; the District was not projected to set rates at this level until 2022.

For Water and Wastewater Information
Water rate and wastewater charges will vary based upon individual water usage.
