Rate Order Change Notice
Feb 19, 2024Dear Grand Lakes MUD 2 customer,
For several years Grand Lakes MUD 2 has enjoyed a robust revenue source from our Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) with the City of Houston. This additional revenue allowed us to pay off the districts debt early resulting in the low tax rate that we have today. Additionally, we were able to keep our Water and Sewer rates low.
As a reminder you may have noticed a “credit” on your bill reflecting $2.00 / 1000 gallons used. This was to help relieve the NFBWA fee that has increased over the years.
Beginning in early 2023 this revenue source has declined by approximately 90% and therefore we are no longer able to subsidize at previous levels. This unfortunate change has compelled the district to evaluate our rates and beginning with your February water bill we will remove the $2.00 credit we have all enjoyed. We also find it necessary to increase water and sewer rates to allow us to meet our budget going forward.
We will continue to have one of, if not the lowest tax rate in the area. As always, your board of directors is committed to providing the highest level of service at the most economical cost to all users.
Thank you for your understanding,
Grand lakes MUD 2 Board of Directors
