LEAGUE CITY, Texas Considering the high water bills some residents are facing due to last month s winter storm, League City City Council approved a measure March 9 to ease the burden.
With council s unanimous vote, League City water customers bills for February will be capped at the second of four price tiers regardless of whether they used enough water to move them to a more expensive tier.
According to city officials, League City customers use about 10 million gallons of water a day. During the winter storm, that increased to a peak of nearly 25 million gallons in a single day, mostly due to residents running their faucets to prevent pipes from freezing and other residents experiencing burst pipes, officials said.
