Notice of Water and Sewer Rate Increase
The Board of Directors of Quail Valley Utility District approved water and sewer rate increase to be effective July 1, 2025. The district has not increased water and sewer rates since 2018.
The new rate change will be effective on water and sewer bills received after July 31st. The water and sewer rates will increase approximately 12%. The new rates are expected to increase the monthly water and sewer bill for the average single-family home by $4.00 to $9.00 a month.
The increase is due to the inflationary cost of operations, supplies, and materials.
The rate increase does not reflect the TCEQ Fee, Ground Water Reduction Plan Fee (GRP), or Garbage Fees, which are not set by the district.

Be Aware of Scam Artists Posting as Utility Employees
We recently heard from customers who report men and women posing as water utility employees have asked to allow them into in the house to collect “COVID-19” samples or have said they need to check on something in the house.
QUAIL VALLEY UTILITY DISTICT service personnel DO NOT request to check on anything inside the house. Such action is considered, ONLY IF the customer requests our assistance.
QUAIL VALLEY UTILITY DISTRICT service calls are arranged and scheduled in advance. There may be times when service personnel are notifying customers for utility work in the area or responding to calls from passers-by or neighbors, but then the utility employee would arrive in a District marked vehicle, and present identification.
You can call the District’s office at 281-499-5539 to verify employee’s identification. However, call the Police Dept. (911) if in doubt.
