2021 Water Bill Increase


The City of Bedford is committed to providing its customers with reliable, high-quality drinking water and services while maintaining its facilities and infrastructure.

Effective January 1, 2021, the City of Bedford will adjust its water and sewer rates to account for an increase in the cost of services from the Trinity River Authority of Texas (TRA). The City relies on TRA to provide wholesale water and sewer services to Bedford residents and businesses. The cost for these services is a rate per 1,000 gallons of water and sewer distributed by the City of Bedford.

These rate adjustments will aid in safeguarding against water delivery interruptions and help pay for key water/sewer projects, ensuring the City continues providing safe and reliable drinking water to Bedford residents.

Information on the new rates can be found on the chart below:
