Notice of Sewer Rate Adjustment

Brazoria County Municipal Utility District No. 3 (the “District”) is committed to providing efficient, high-quality sewer service while keeping rates as low as possible for our customers. To continue meeting rising operational costs, specifically increased garbage collection costs, the District has implemented a sewer rate adjustment.

Even with this increase, the District continues to offer some of the lowest water and sewer rates in the region. Please understand that the District’s Flat Sewer Rate includes the costs for garbage collections services as a pass-through cost to its customers and that the District for the past several years has been absorbing the increased costs for garbage collection without increasing its fees. We appreciate your understanding as we make this necessary adjustment to ensure continued reliable service.

Storm System Alert: Adjustments to Service Schedule

With the latest snow forecast for Tuesday, Best Trash will be closed for regular operations tomorrow.

Please see the revised schedule below for the tentative schedule for the rest of the week.

  • Monday: We will run a regular service day.
  • Tuesday: Closed.
  • Wednesday: Delayed start.
  • Thursday: Delayed start.

Note: If the landfills close due to inclement weather, we cannot run our routes on those day(s).

The guidelines are subject to change depending on the actual weather conditions.

If we are unable to run our routes on your scheduled service day, your pick-up will be on the next scheduled service day.

If plants die due to the weather, they will be considered storm debris and handled accordingly.

Best wishes, and be safe.
