‘Tis the season to water wisely

Winter averaging has begun!

Wells Branch residents can save money year-round by conserving water during the winter wastewater averaging that started November 14, 2011 and ends February 14, 2012.

There are no meters on customers’ wastewater lines.  To determine wastewater usage, a customer’s water usage is reviewed over three consecutive, low demand winter months when lawn watering and irrigation are less frequent. The customer’s wastewater charge for future billings will be based on the new wastewater average or actual monthly water usage, whichever is lowest.  Customers may contact Margret at 246-5908 or mwingrove@crossroadsus.com with any questions.

Because the MUD is a wholesale customer of the City of Austin, the City’s Water Conservation Program is available to Wells Branch residents to help reduce charges for both water and wastewater.  For information consult http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/watercon/
