North Texas Municipal Water District

What North Texas Municipal Water District does

North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) is a political subdivision of the State of Texas, established in 1951 and headquartered in Wylie, Texas, that provides regional wholesale water, wastewater, and solid waste services across a 2,200-square mile area in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. NTMWD operates three integrated service systems: a Regional Water System that treats and distributes drinking water to 2.3 million people through 13 Member Cities and 34 Customer Cities and Utilities, supported by 7 water treatment plants and 6 raw water supplies; a Regional Wastewater System serving approximately 1.6 million residents across 24 communities through 12 wastewater treatment plants with 32 billion gallons of annual reuse capacity; and a Regional Solid Waste System serving 980,000 residents through five Member Cities, 4 facilities, and more than 1 million tons of annual disposal capacity.

The underlying technology base consists of large-scale physical assets, including the Bois d'Arc Lake reservoir project, the Wylie Water Treatment Plant IV expansion, the Lavon Lake Raw Water Pump Station 4, and the Sister Grove Water Resource Recovery Facility, along with ongoing upgrades to multiple wastewater treatment plants. NTMWD supplements its infrastructure with public education, watershed protection, and asset management programs, and has received industry recognition including TOP (Targeted Outreach Program) recognition for the Bonham Water Treatment Plant and Asset Management Project of the Year for its CAP program.

NTMWD operates a wholesale subscription-style revenue model in which Member Cities and Customer Cities/Utilities purchase water, wastewater conveyance/treatment, and solid waste disposal services at rates established through the district's published Rates & Charges framework and resell them to end consumers in their service areas. The district is governed by a Board of Directors elected from Member Cities, is supported by 251-500 employees, and uses its website, social channels, newsletters, and direct government-relations communications for outreach. NTMWD does not publicly disclose revenue; as a regulated political subdivision it funds capital through ratepayer charges and debt issuance rather than equity capital.
