Proposed HILCO water sale would more than double some rural water bills
HILCO wants to sell its remaining H2O water systems to CSWR-Texas Utility Operating Co., a deal now before the Public Utility Commission as Docket 59426. The legal notice's own billing comparison puts a typical 5,000-gallon month at $114.45 under the proposed rates, up from $45.43 today. The application covers about 4,141 customer connections, and organizers opposing the sale are urging customers to file individual protests with the PUC.
