Addison purchases water from Dallas Water Utility and sewage treatment services from Trinity River Authority, the town of Addison said. They said that in the past year, both entities experienced cost increases.
TRA owns and operates five water treatment and supply facilities, five wastewater treatment facilities, one reservoir and one recreation project, plus serving as local sponsor for three multiple-purpose lakes operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
TRA’s services are contracted for by cities, municipalities or districts. TRA also serves as a conduit for tax-exempt financing for municipal water and wastewater facilities and for industrial pollution control facilities.
According to the town of Addison, the town’s code of ordinances provides that the cost increases from these two entities, which will average approximately 5% this year, are passed directly to Town of Addison customers. Also, the town of Addison said that per their contract with Community Waste Disposal, trash and recycling rates will increase 1.9% or 22 cents per month.
Increases in utility bills will begin in November
