Transfer, Stop or Temporarily Disconnect Water Service

Under its published policy:

Contact Utility Billing before leaving to confirm eligibility and request dates. Do not assume simply turning off water inside the house places the account into temporary-disconnection status.

Understanding Mission Water, Sewer, Garbage and Drainage Charges

The Mission Utility Billing Department collects charges for several city services. Your water statement may contain more than just drinking-water usage.

Published Sanitary Sewer Rate Components

The city’s Utility Billing page publishes the following sanitary sewer charges:

These are the sewer components published by the department, not a complete 2026 water and sewer tariff. For exact current consumption rates, unit definitions and charges under Ordinance 5244, consult the city before calculating a final bill.

High Mission Water Bill? Check Your Meter and Water Usage

A sudden increase in water usage may come from a running toilet, leaking outdoor faucet, irrigation system or an underground service-line leak.

The City of Mission has been replacing older water meters with smart meters to improve usage monitoring and help identify unusual consumption.

What to Check Before Calling

1. Compare your statements. Review current water consumption against previous months.
2. Separate charges. Check whether the increase is in water usage, sewer, garbage, drainage or an overdue balance.
3. Inspect toilets. A running toilet can continue using water without obvious noise.
4. Check outdoor irrigation. Look for stuck sprinkler valves, broken irrigation heads and unnecessary watering cycles.
5. Inspect the property. Unexplained wet ground or unusually green areas may indicate a private-line leak.
6. Contact the city. Call 956-580-8660 about the bill or use 956-585-3111 to report a water-related service problem.

If the city has installed a smart meter at your address, ask what usage information is available through the customer portal.

For meter replacement questions, the city lists ami-watermeter-project@missiontexas.us.

Mission Water Restrictions and Lawn Watering Schedule

The City of Mission publishes a Stage 2 Water Conservation Quadrant Map. The map divides the city into four watering zones using Bryan Road and Business 83 as the principal boundaries.

The map lists designated irrigation days and permitted watering hours. Check the current conservation stage before relying on a historical schedule, because restrictions may change during water shortages.

Stage 2 Watering Schedule on the Published Map

The published Stage 2 map identifies violation fines ranging from $50 to $200.

How to Report a Water Problem

1. Identify whether the issue affects one fixture, the whole house or nearby properties.
2. Check for obvious indoor plumbing problems without operating city-owned equipment.
3. Note the exact service address and nearest cross street.

Mission Drinking Water Source and Quality Reports

The City of Mission Public Works Department operates water treatment and distribution services for the municipality. The city reports that it has used river-water treatment plants since 1926.
