Crossroads:
Crossroads, Manville, Jonah and Windermere haven’t increased their water rates since 2023. However, some customers still reported a large hike on their bill. Meta Bradley Brown lives in the Blackhawk neighborhood in Pugerville’s ETJ, an area ser- viced by Crossroads. In September, Brown saw an exponential increase in usage — from 5,000 gallons in August 2024 to 50,000 gallons the next month, amounting to a $300-$400 bill. “Nothing changed about our habits, other than the bill changed signi¢cantly,” Brown said. Crossroads CEO Andrew Hunt said the company has received 81 complaints out of 3,000 customers about high water usage, and was able to check the homes’ water meters to ¢nd the cause of increased water charges. “[The] majority of those 81 all had leaks or high usage that they weren’t aware of,” Hunt said.

through the future.” P§ugerville has planned increases for its customers’ base rates over the next few years while the large infrastructure projects continue. The forecasted base rate in the city is $65.50 for water and $71 for wastewater by ¥scal year 2026-2027. City of Hutto customers can also avoid a credit card fee on their monthly bills by setting up auto drafts, or paying by check or in person.
Hutto requested a comprehensive water and wastewater rate study in December 2024, which aims to assess the city’s existing rates and provide recommendations for rates for all customers. “The intent of that study is to help shape what increases may impact di£erent customer classes,” Coronado said. “That will provide us with ¥nancing for the future and budgeting purposes. That way those projects that are still in play can continue to be ¥nanced
