Canyon Lake Water Service Company sent out a letter a couple of weeks ago informing residents of subdivisions located in Blanco and Comal County that they will be seeing higher water bills starting January 16, 2009.

CLWSC cites improvements that they have made to the water system as part of the reason for the hike.

Most customers will see only a 10% increase in their monthly bill, however, some residents could see as much as an almost 150% increase.

The amount of increase the customer will see will be directly related to the amount of water you use.
