City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

06/01/2021

BACKGROUND

In order for the City’s corporate partner, the Schertz/Seguin Local Government Corporation (SSLGC) to provide water at the lowest rate possible, SSLGC utilizes the services of Willdan Financial Services as a rate consultant to evaluate and advance its 5-year rate model annually. This helps to keep rate increases minimal and to keep SSLGC revenue appropriate for current and future operations.

For Fiscal Year 2021-22, the SSLGC Board is recommending, and has approved with SSLGC Resolution SSLGC R21-14, no increase in the water rates.

Attached you will find SSLGC Resolution #SSLGC R21-14 and the FY2021-22 SSLGC Water Rates.
