What consolidated waterworks district no. 1 does

Consolidated Waterworks District No. 1 is a government-owned public water utility headquartered in Houma, Louisiana, that operates as the sole permitted drinking water provider for Terrebonne Parish. The District serves more than 42,000 residential and commercial customer connections across approximately 1,000 miles of distribution pipe, producing roughly 5 billion gallons of treated water per year across two surface-water treatment plants — the 8 MGD Houma plant and the 24 MGD Schriever plant (32 MGD combined capacity). Raw water is sourced approximately 80% from Bayou Lafourche via the Bayou Lafourche Fresh Water District and 20% from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and Bayou Black Reservoir, and the system is supported by 23 storage sites with a combined capacity of about 19 million gallons.

The District's core technology is conventional surface-water treatment (coagulation, filtration, disinfection) coupled with an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) program that, as of 2025, is replacing approximately 45,000 customer meters with smart endpoints capable of remote reading and consumption analytics. Distribution operations are supported by an active Capital Improvement Program (CIP-12-23-01) for pipeline and treatment-asset rehabilitation, public-facing compliance artifacts such as the 2021 Lead Service Line Inventory Map, and a Grade A water system rating issued by the Louisiana Department of Health in 2025. External contractors including Pedal Valves Inc. (PVI) for meter deployment, BLD Services LLC for construction, and All South Engineers for engineering provide execution capacity.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from recurring metered water service fees and fixed charges billed to residential and commercial customers within the Parish franchise area; the District does not disclose audited revenue, but operating scale implies a mid-sized municipal utility budget. As a regulated monopoly with a defined service territory, the District's commercial model is rate-based rather than market-share-based, with growth tied to new connections, consumption trends, and approved rate adjustments rather than competitive customer acquisition.
