Dripping Springs approves hiring of second utility billing clerk

City to take over issuing wastewater bills in March

DRIPPING SPRINGS  — At its Feb. 18 meeting, Dripping Springs City Council unanimously approved the hiring of a second utility billing clerk, which is also in coordination with the city taking over the responsibility of issuing wastewater utility bills.

The city currently has an agreement with the Dripping Springs Water Supply Corporation (DSWSC) to issue the city’s wastewater utility bills to customers. However, beginning in March, the city of Dripping Springs will be taking over the responsibility, estimating more than 2,500 customers who DSWSC is currently billing, which is a jump from the city’s current 150-200 water customers, according to deputy city administrator Shawn Cox.
