The Harlingen Waterworks System is proposing a utility rate increase that could raise customer bills after a final vote by city commissioners. If approved, the water charge will increase from $9.91 to $12.39, while the minimum wastewater fee will rise from $7.73 to $9.66. General Manager Roy Rodriguez stated that the increase is necessary to fund $109 million in infrastructure projects planned over the next 18 to 24 months, including upgrades to the wastewater plant and major line replacements. The city commissioners are set to vote on this proposal at their next meeting, with new rates potentially starting on October 1, 2026.
