The City of Corpus Christi uses winter quarter averaging (WQA) to determine wastewater charges for residential customers. The WQA is calculated based on the residential water usage during three consecutive billing cycles beginning this December. Once an average is calculated, wastewater charges will be the same every month for a year until a new average is calculated. This change will prevent fluctuating wastewater charges. Billing for winter quarter averaging will appear on residential utility bills by June 2023.
The City of Corpus Christi adopted a tax rate that will raise more taxes for maintenance and operations than last year's tax rate. The tax rate will effectively be raised by 4.69 percent and will raise taxes for maintenance and operations on a $100,000 home by approximately $16.87.
