Kyle updates water leak policy to include businesses

An in-place policy allowing Kyle water customers to pay a lower rate in the event of a leak has now been extended to commercial businesses.

On June 25, the Kyle City Council voted 7-0 to update language in the city’s policy on water leaks to include businesses, while also creating a process to monitor water infrastructure repairs.

Water customers experiencing leaks in Kyle have historically benefitted from the city’s policy, which allows them to pay a lower rate for one month’s time. Kyle City Manager Scott Sellers said changes to the policy came after a commercial water customer experienced a water leak.
