The monthly water bill has 3 components, the Base Water Charge (District’s water rates), the Base Sewer Charge (District’s sewer rate) and the WHCRWA Charge (West Harris County Regional Water Authority rate). With higher water usage, especially during the summer months, the WHCRWA fee can be more than half of the total water bill. So, what is the WHCRWA fee? The video accessed via the following link, https://www.whcrwa.com/what-is-the-whcrwa-fee/, helps explain the purpose of this fee. It should be noted that the WHCRWA fee is strictly a pass-thru cost to our customers, with no mark-up, and is currently at $4.35 per every 1,000 gallons used. The District has no control over the WHCRWA rate.
