Manville Water Supply Corp.

What Manville Water Supply Corp. does

Manville Water Supply Corporation is a non-profit, member-owned water utility corporation incorporated in Texas and headquartered at 13805 South SH 95, Coupland, Texas. Founded in April 1967 following an extensive drought in Travis County and originally organized with assistance from the Farmers Home Administration, the corporation produces, treats, and distributes potable water to over 13,000 members across rural and urban portions of northeastern Travis County and into Lee County, including the communities of Manor, Pflugerville, Richland, Cele, and New Sweden. The company operates under a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), which establishes it as the certificated provider within its service area and obligates continuous, adequate service. Governance is provided by a nine-member Board of Directors elected by members at the annual meeting, with three-year terms.

The technical platform consists of owned and operated wells (including the Blue Well field in Lee County), storage tanks, a ~24-mile 36-inch transmission line connecting Lee County to a new plant site on Cameron Road, distribution mains, and SCADA systems for monitoring and regulatory compliance. Treatment processes use only NSF-approved chemicals; a permanent disinfectant conversion from chloramine to free chlorine was executed in the Pflugerville/Hutto area between February 2 and March 4, 2026 to improve disinfectant residual. The company has completed the federal Lead and Copper Rule Revision service-line inventory (all service lines classified non-lead), publishes an annual Consumer Confidence Report, and runs seasonal outdoor watering restrictions (May 1 – September 30) as part of its TCEQ-approved drought contingency plan. Additional infrastructure includes a newly constructed headquarters facility opened in 2020.

The business model is a regulated, usage-based water utility revenue stack. Members (property owners within the CCN) pay monthly base fees scaled by meter size (from $40/month for a 5/8" residential meter to $1,195.60/month for an 8" commercial meter) plus tiered conservation usage charges of $4.50–$9.97 per 1,000 gallons. One-time capital recovery fees (effective June 15, 2023, e.g., $12,071 per 5/8" LUE), meter setting fees ($1,625–$31,525 effective April 1, 2025), refundable membership deposits ($100), and reconnect fees ($75) are charged to new and reactivated accounts. Wholesale supply is provided to the City of Pflugerville through Lakeside WCID and Kelly Lane WCID. The company does not publish revenue figures but is non-profit and member-financed. A March 2021 merger with Noack WSC expanded the certificated footprint, and an active developer and subdivision-services program supports continued service-area growth.

Others

• Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA): LCRA is a regional water and power authority in Central Texas that supplies raw water to municipal and agricultural users. Connected to Manville through regional water supply in Central Texas, but LCRA operates as a wholesale water supplier and power generator rather than a direct retail water utility.

Broad incumbents

• Austin Water: Austin Water is the municipal water utility serving the City of Austin and surrounding areas. While Manville's service area partially overlaps with Austin Water's territory, Austin Water is a much larger municipal utility offering broad water, wastewater, and reclaimed water services across the entire Austin metro. Comparable as a regional water provider in the same Texas geography.
• Veolia Water North America: Veolia operates water and wastewater utilities across the US, including operations and maintenance contracts for Texas water systems. Comparable to Manville's water treatment and distribution operations at a much broader scale, with Veolia operating as a global utility services provider rather than a member-owned non-profit.
• San Antonio Water System (SAWS): San Antonio Water System is one of the largest municipally-owned water utilities in Texas, providing water and wastewater services to Bexar County and surrounding areas. While much larger and broader in scope than Manville, SAWS is comparable as a Texas-based water utility operating under TCEQ oversight with a mix of residential, commercial, and wholesale customers.
• North Texas Municipal Water District: NTMWD is a regional water and wastewater provider serving north Texas communities as a wholesale supplier. Comparable to Manville as a Texas water utility with similar regulatory environment, but NTMWD operates at a much larger scale and serves multiple municipalities in a different geographic region.

Direct peers

• Aqua Texas: Aqua Texas is a private, regulated water utility serving customers across Texas, operating under a similar certificated service area model. It is directly comparable to Manville as an investor-owned water utility providing potable water distribution under Texas regulatory oversight. Both operate in the same geographic and regulatory environment with similar customer base characteristics.
• Central States Water Resources: Central States Water Resources is a private operator of water and wastewater utilities across multiple US states including Texas, focused on acquiring and operating small regulated utilities. Comparable to Manville in serving small-to-mid sized water systems under state regulatory oversight with similar customer demographics.
• Liberty Utilities (Texas): Liberty Utilities operates regulated water and wastewater utilities in Texas, providing potable water service through dedicated distribution networks. Comparable to Manville in operating model (regulated water utility under TCEQ oversight), customer base (residential and commercial), and revenue model (base fees plus usage charges).
• EPCOR USA (Texas Water Utilities): EPCOR USA operates Texas Water Utilities, a regulated water utility serving multiple Texas communities. Direct peer to Manville in operating certificated water utility systems under Texas regulatory framework, with similar mix of residential and commercial customers and tiered rate structures.

Regional players

• Brushy Creek Municipal Utility District: Brushy Creek MUD is a municipal utility district serving parts of Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Austin in Williamson County. Comparable to Manville as a local water utility in the Austin metro serving residential and commercial customers, but operates as a MUD under Texas Water Code rather than a Water Supply Corporation.
