The West Authority anticipates being finished with the surface water conversion process for the MUDs and water providers within its boundaries by 2035, which is the deadline set by the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District.

The cost of water will continue to rise. The West Authority Board of Directors is committed to keeping the cost of water as low as possible for as long as possible and will keep the periodic rate increases reasonable and consistent with this commitment. Increasing the West Authority fee steadily and in smaller amounts will help avoid a sharp increase in the fee in the years ahead.

Projecting rates is difficult due to unpredictable financing and construction costs. Annual rate increases must be approved by the Board.  Click here to view the WHCRWA pumpage fee history
