League City increases water, wastewater rates League City residents will pay higher water and wastewater rates in fiscal year 2025-26, which begins in October. What readers need to know League City City Council voted 5-2 on Jan. 28 to increase water and wastewater rates on meters of all sizes. Council members Tommy Cones and Andy Mann opposed the new rates but did not provide reasons. The new base water rate for resident and commer- cial customers is up from $8.26 to $9.08, documents show. This new rate is for 5/8-inch and 3/4-inch water meters. For wastewater, the new monthly service charge rate is up from $15.32 to $16.84 for all users and all meter sizes, according to city documents. These base rates don’t include the rate of water charged for every 1,000 gallons used, documents show.
City transitions to new wastewater facility Seabrook in late January redirected the last of its wastewater from the aging Main Street wastewater plant to the Pine Gully Wastewater Treatment Plant. The backstory The old wastewater plant was built in the 1960s and had endured decades of severe weather and flooding, per a news release from the city. The new $40 million facility broke ground in 2021 and opened last March. Officials at the time called it the city’s largest-ever infrastructure project, Community Impact previously reported. What else? The city plans to demolish the former plant site in 2025, per the release.
