A $3.54 increase in the average monthly wastewater bill could be on the horizon for Kyle utility customers as city leaders look to fund future infrastructure improvements next fiscal year.
Despite a rise in wastewater rates, Kyle’s proposed $85 million budget is not expected to alter the current $.5416 per $100 valuation property tax rate, said City Manager Scott Sellers during a July 28 budget workshop.
Kyle’s proposed wastewater rate increase, currently set at 10 percent for all customer classes, is expected to help front nearly $19.2 million in wastewater upgrades in Fiscal Year 2019. Included in the list are wastewater line improvements in Plum Creek, Elliot Branch, Bunton Creek and in the south side of town.
