Flat Rate to Metered Rate Conversion
Below you will find information relating to the pending flat rate to metered rate conversion.
On December 13, 2007, the TMWA Board of Directors voted to convert all customers who have a meter installed to the metered rate. The implementation will be January, 2010. The Board's intention of the two-year time-frame is to give customers time to work through their landscaping and water-use issues. We will be adding more detailed information and helps on this Web site. Please check back soon.
