Buda utility rates to rise over the next two years

By Samantha Smith

Water and wastewater costs for Buda residents will go up over the next two years before rate increases take a downward trajectory, according to a presentation by HDR Engineering representative Grady Reed at an earlier Buda City Council meeting. 

Although Buda’s high growth rate has been helping keep water and wastewater costs low, residents can expect to see a five percent increase in their water rate and a two percent increase in their wastewater rate.
