Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority

What Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority does

Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA) is a government municipal authority created in 1971 to provide regional wastewater services for the area northeast of San Antonio, Texas. It operates as the legislatively designated wholesale wastewater provider for the communities of Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, Randolph Air Force Base, and portions of Live Oak, San Antonio, and Universal City, covering an approximately 58,261-acre service area. Its integrated infrastructure includes a gravity interceptor system (20.5 miles of gravity sewer), lift stations, force mains (8.5 miles), and the Odo J. Riedel Regional Water Reclamation Plant rated for an annual average flow of 10 million gallons per day.

CCMA generates revenue through three primary streams: usage-based wholesale wastewater service fees (FY26 rate of $4.38 per 1,000 gallons, stepping to $4.56 in FY27), reclaimed water sales to commercial customers at $1.75 per 1,000 gallons, and one-time impact fees on new connections ($2,200-$2,300 per Living Unit Equivalent depending on zone). The reclaimed water program, launched in 1998, supplies year-round irrigation water to golf courses, shopping centers, nurseries, and school district athletic facilities at lower cost than potable water and exempt from conservation restrictions. Capital investment is ongoing, with a $13M Schertz Lift Station and 48-inch sewer main replacement and a $4.2M FM 1518 18-inch sewer main project actively in execution to support continued service area growth.

CCMA is governed by a five-member elected Board of Directors (President Richard Braud, Vice President Michael Keough, Treasurer Reginna Agee, Directors Richard A. Kunz and Martin Trevino) with General Manager Clint Ellis directing operations. The Authority employs 11-50 staff, has never levied a tax despite having statutory taxing authority, and operates with published FY15-FY25 financial audits. Distribution is entirely direct-to-utility, with no resellers or third-party channels. The Authority also pursues watershed protection initiatives through Clean Water Act-funded partnerships with the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board, EPA, and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension.
