There is no state legal requirement for water supply corporations to provide notice of a rate change; however, we highly recommend that water supply corporations provide their customers with notice prior to a rate change going to go into effect.

Good communication with customers fosters support of the water system and can help to avoid costly appeal proceedings at the TCEQ.
