2026 Rates, Water Usage, Sewer Winter Quarter Average and High-Bill Checks

2026 rate increase

Carrollton announced water and wastewater rate increases effective January 1, 2026, with an average impact around 7.5%.

Monthly meter read

Water meters are read once a month, and water is billed in units of 1,000 gallons.

Sewer WQA

Residential sewer use is recalculated from January, February and March meter readings and then applied beginning with April’s bill.

High-bill cause	How Carrollton bills / what to check	What to ask
Rate change	Water and wastewater rates can change each year; 2026 increase took effect January 1.	“How much of my increase is rate change versus usage?”
More gallons	The bill shows water usage since last meter reading, billed in 1,000-gallon units.	“What was my current read, prior read and usage?”
Higher tiers	City FAQ says water rates increase with higher usage.	“Which rate tier did my usage reach?”
Summer irrigation	Summer bills are usually higher because of lawn irrigation.	“Did outdoor use increase compared with last year?”
Winter Quarter Average	Residential sewer is based on the average water consumption from January, February and March readings.	“What WQA was set for my account, and when did it begin?”
Pool fill during WQA months	Customers can request pool-fill consideration before the April bill is prepared.	“Can pool-fill usage be deducted from WQA calculation?”
Irrigation leak during WQA months	Consideration for WQA adjustment may be accepted for irrigation leaks during WQA determination months.	“Does this irrigation leak affect my sewer WQA?”
Toilet or indoor leak	If everything is off and the flow indicator is moving, water is leaking somewhere.	“What proof is required for a leak adjustment?”
Prior balance / fee	Check for $25 late fee, restoration fee, returned payment, or previous balance.	“Which line items are fees versus usage?”
Trash/recycling	Utility bills can include trash and recycling services.	“Is part of this bill solid waste rather than water/sewer?”

High-bill script: “My Carrollton utility bill increased from [normal amount/usage] to [current amount/usage]. I checked rate change, water tier, meter reading, summer irrigation, WQA sewer calculation, prior balance, late fees and trash charges. Which line item changed, and should I request a leak adjustment or WQA review?”
