Fair Oaks Ranch’s fiscal 2026-27 water and sewer rate schedule took effect Oct. 1, 2026, and runs through Sept. 30, 2027.
For a 3/4-inch water meter and sewer connection, the listed fixed charges total $121.02 a month before sewer usage and any charges not included in this calculation. That figure is a Comal.News sum of the charges in the city’s published rate schedule, rather than a quoted total bill or a measure of how much rates changed from last year.
What the fixed charges cover
The 3/4-inch water availability charge is $26.48 a month and includes the first 6,000 gallons of water. The schedule also lists a $17.81 surface-water fee, a 20-cent TCEQ fee and $29.69 in water debt service each month. Together, the listed fixed water charges add to $74.18. The listed fixed sewer charges add to $46.84: $28.94 for availability, a 5-cent TCEQ fee and $17.85 in debt service. The schedule shows zero-dollar Trinity Glen Rose and capital-reserve water charges and a zero-dollar sewer reserve charge.
The table reproduces the listed charges relevant to this calculation and the published residential usage rates. Fixed subtotals are Comal.News arithmetic from the city’s figures; usage rates are separate charges. The city’s rate page gives the underlying amounts and units.
