As customers of the Kempner Water Supply Corporation, we're gravely concerned about the impending rate increase scheduled for 2025. It's deeply disheartening to acknowledge that Kempner Water Supply already holds one of the highest water rates in Texas, yet they appear to disregard the needs and concerns of their loyal members.

This rate hike is not justifiable, especially considering the economic burdens many are already facing. With inflation impacting our daily lives and wages stagnating, yet another increase in water rates could unjustly strain household budgets, forcing us to make tough choices between basic necessities.

Moreover, comprehensive details and transparent justifications for such increases seem to be lacking. It's critical that we ask Kempner Water Supply to reconsider their decision and explore alternative solutions. Why aren’t we considering more cost-effective measures or reviewing their operational efficiencies to avoid passing the buck onto the consumers?

We urge Kempner Water Supply to engage with us—their community and stakeholders—before implementing this hike. We deserve open public forums or community meetings where reasons for any increases can be articulated clearly, and where members’ inputs and questions are genuinely valued.

Addressing these concerns fairly can foster trust and goodwill. Without community consensus, this decision will only continue to alienate Kempner Water Supply from those they serve. We must come together to call for action!

Please support this cause by signing the petition, to compel Kempner Water Supply Corporation to reconsider their 2025 rate increase. Let’s ensure that our voices are heard and that water remains affordably available to all.
