Important Announcement From the Utility Department

February 28, 2023 - City Council heard the results of a periodic rate study from consultant, Willdan Financial Services. Of note, the Royse City utility  rates remain comparable to those in many surrounding areas. Adjustments are necessary to address increases from the water supplier, North Texas Municipal Water District and increased costs associated with wastewater treatment. The average residential user will pay $3.35 more per month for utility services and $1.34 more per month for garbage services in 2023. Rate adjustment details, including commercial rate changes, can be found here. New rates will be reflected on monthly utility bills beginning March 31st.
