Kyle says no increase on storm water fee

The possibility of adjusting storm water rates in the future led Kyle city leaders to forgo a proposed fee increase Saturday.

Discussion on stormwater fees was part of the city’s second Drainage Master Plan (DMP) meeting, which involved the proposed study that addresses drainage issues in the city.

Several drainage easements, ponds and neighborhoods have needs ranging from repairs and maintenance to upgrades, per the DMP. City staff had recommended additional funds to meet those needs, but city council members said they have to make do for the moment.
