El Campo’s proposed utility fee hike was approved 6-1 during Monday’s council session over District 2
Councilwoman Gloria Harris’ heated objection, saying “We call citizens to give us input, but then we don’t listen
to them … We have an obligation to listen to them.” She, however, did not vote against the measure. District 1 Councilwoman Anisa Vasquez was the lone NO vote. With the fee hike, El Campo’s base rate on water and sewer use increases from $13 per month to $14 and the base sewer rate from $14.25 to $15.25 while the base use water level decreases from 2,500 to 2,000 gallons.
