It’s something you should know. Under the new water rate structure the larger the water meter, the more expensive the water bill. The “average” water bill figures in the adjacent story are based on 3/4-inch meters, the most common for residential connections. City Manager Chris Whittaker promised at Thursday’s town hall the city would “work with” owners of larger diameter meters to get them changed out. Administrative Assistant Theresa Burgess at City Hall said most residential meters are 3/4-inch but others, especially residences with lawn watering systems, may have larger connections. The city will look up your meter size if you contact them at 512-446-2511.
