Water Rates & Taxes Rising for North Texas | Dallas News

Tarrant Regional Water District is preparing to raise both taxes and water rates to tackle rising costs from population growth and aging infrastructure. With demand expected to double by 2080, the district needs $33 million in new revenue by 2027 to fund critical flood control projects like Central City/ Panther Island, maintain decades-old river systems, and expand recreation programs. Water rate hikes will cover increased usage and the urgent need to replace pipes over 50 years old — all while facing a massive capital improvement bill over the next five years. A public hearing on the tax proposal is scheduled next month. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
