Levelland council approves utility rate adjustments, adds landfill fees for non-residents

The Levelland City Council approved Ordinance No. 1121 on second reading to revise utility rates across water, wastewater and sanitation services. Staff explained that several water and wastewater tier rates were rounded upward to phase out penny increments and that new sanitation/landfill fees will apply to non-city residents. The ordinance was approved unanimously.

Council members said the rate adjustments were largely housekeeping and to reflect operational needs; staff noted the change in landfill policy would begin charging non-residents for disposal. No dollar-by-dollar fee schedule beyond the minutes’ description was included in the record provided.
