City of Conroe to raise water, sewer rates Conroe City Council will vote on increasing its water and sewer rates in fiscal year 2023-24 during its Sept. 14 meeting, which was after press time Sept. 13. The overview At an Aug. 24 meeting, Collin Boothe, director of
finance and assistant city administrator, said there are two options for an increase. Alternative No. 1 raises rates 5% for both residential and commercial customers, and Alternative No. 2 increases rates 3.25% for residential customers and 6.75% for commercial customers. Boothe said city staff’s recommendation is Alternative No. 2. However, Boothe said when council members adopt the budget, they will just be approving the water and sewer rate increases for FY 2023-24. Future rates may change from fiscal year to fiscal year, he said.
“That is now five consecutive years of maintaining that rate.” BYRON SANFORD, MONTGOMERY MAYOR
