Rates

Rates go toward maintaining reliable, high-quality services. this is achieved through maintaining the District's infrastructure, Capital Improvement Projects, and other goals outlined in Padre Dam's Five Year Business Plan. 

Did you know? Public water agencies do not make a profit. Every dollar from a customer’s water bill is invested back into the operation, maintenance and water delivery to help ensure reliable water. Padre Dam works 365 days a year on behalf of our community to keep safe, high quality water flowing. When you pay your water bill you are doing more than just purchasing water, you are investing in projects and programs to meet the community’s needs today and into the future.
