2008 Special Service Fees
Effective Jan. 1, 2008

In the utility industry, it is customary to assess a range of fees for special services that are associated for the benefit of a particular customer. These fees are designed to recover costs associated with providing special services and help decrease pressure on system-wide rates, which otherwise subsidize special services provided to limited groups of customers.

San Antonio City Council recently approved the implementation of new San Antonio Water System special service fees. These new fees will become effective on or about Jan. 1, 2008.
