Storm-water infiltration into the city's sewer system generated extra charges from Fort Worth's water treatment plant, which caused Richland Hills to withdraw $500,000 from its oil and gas fund to pay the bill, officials said.
Speaking of gas funds, read about Tarrant County leading the way in gas production, while our infrastructure crumbles around us.
But Quin said it's obvious that runoff water is infiltrating the sewers.
"The wastewater charges [from Fort Worth] fluctuate annually with dry and wet periods. Some years it's near $500,000, some $600,000. One year, in 2007, the charges spiked at over $800,000."
