Water Rates & Fees
Tract 349 Mutual Water Co. is committed to cost-efficient operations and reliable water service. To offset the increase in its replenishment assessment by the Water Replenishment District, the Company’s operating cost, and the cost to continuously upgrade and repair the Company’s distribution system, the Company must adjust its water rates.
Your water bill consists of two charges: a commodity rate for water used and a fixed service charge based on meter size (the “readiness to serve” charge). The amount you pay for water will vary depending on consumption.
Please read below for a breakdown of the charges on your water bill:
