Parker proposes big water and sewer rate increases
BRADLEY OLSON, Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle | April 6, 2010

Mayor Annise Parker's administration is proposing drastic water and sewer
rate increases to shore up a Combined Utility System that has operated with
multi-million budget deficits for several years.
The estimated rate hike under the proposal, presented to City Council this
morning, would be about 12.5 percent for residential water users, increasing
from about $47 a month for use of 6,000 gallons of water to about $53.
Those who live in apartments would face a far higher increase, in many cases
more than 50 percent, although the degree to which those costs would be
passed on to residents is harder to determine, since the city does not bill
them individually.
Michael Marcotte, the director of the Department of Public Works and
Engineering, warned of potential downgrades in the credit rating for some of
the city's debt if rates are not significantly increased. He also said the
system runs the risk of falling behind on much-needed maintenance that keeps
drinking water safe.
The reason the water-sewer system is in arrears, he said, is that it has
been hit in recent years by much higher costs than anticipated, lower water
usage and water rates that did not keep up with expenses. This year, the
city is projected to have a $102 million shortfall in the Combined Utility
System, one it has closed with the use of debt.
“If we do nothing, then we will find ourselves unable to meet the basic
regulatory requirements” for water and sewer systems, Marcotte said. “This
is a matter of public health. People are drinking this water and putting it
in their bodies.”
It was unclear whether Parker, who has indicated her support for the rate
increase, would have the votes on City Council to adopt the proposed
increase. Several council members voiced their support for the plan, saying
the city had to face the reality of the predicament the system is in and
raise rates. They also said the rate hikes were needed to pay for capital
improvements that will invest in the system to keep it maintained.
Others, however, objected to the high cost increases scheduled for apartment
users, saying it would have a disproportionately high impact on the poor.
“Most of the people in my family live in apartments, and they live in low-
income apartments,” said Councilwoman Jolanda Jones, who grew emotional in
speaking about the proposed increases. “They don't have an additional $5, $
10, $12 to pay their water bill. … This will have a practical impact on
people, and I know there are some … they can't make it.”

Ours reached around 250 in July.
If the water usage exceeds some level,
the price will be doubled.
