Water & Sewer Rates

Billing Cycles

The City of Texas City Utility Billing Department has two billing cycles for water, sewer and garbage service. These cycles are based on your location within the city and cannot be changed.

Each customer is given approximately 30 days to pay his or her water bill without penalty. On the day after the due date stated on the bill, a 10% penalty on the current bill is added to the customer's bill. Penalties will not be waived for failure to receive your bill. If you experience problems receiving your bill, please contact the United States Post Office.
