- Some business owners will be affected more than others
Customers of Nueces County Water District 4 will see a 10% increase in their water bills that they receive on Feb. 29. This increase will affect customers in Port Aransas, Corpus Christi, and Aransas Pass.
Some homeowners and business owners are more disappointed about this increase than others. Jace Thompson, owner of Barefoot Beans in Port Aransas, is one of the business owners who will be majorly affected by the increase.
KRIS 6 News “It was a little shocking and and not too thrilled about it because being a business owner that has a business that runs off of strictly water is going to be a little hard for the upcoming prices, I will say,” Thompson said.
Barefoot Beans uses a couple hundred gallons of water per day during the busy season in the summer. He is concerned that the costs are going to add up, especially in the summer months.
