Wastewater System

Overview

North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) provides wholesale wastewater services to 24 communities and about 1.6 million residents in North Texas.

We are proud to provide these critical services, which protect human health, enhance the water environment, and support economic development. Regional wastewater service allows communities to share costs and avoid building and maintaining separate facilities and systems.

Our wastewater system consists of more than 240+ miles of large-diameter pipelines, 23 lift stations, and 11 wastewater treatment plants. These facilities convey and treat more than 163 million gallons of wastewater daily. Once through the advanced treatment process, the cleaned water meets or surpasses all regulatory requirements and is released back into our waterways to blend with larger water supply sources.

Leader In Reuse

Reusing water reduces our reliance on acquiring new water sources, extends existing supplies, and provides a drought-resistant water resource. With one of the largest municipal water reuse programs in Texas, NTMWD diverts and treats typically around 20 billion gallons annually. Our East Fork Water Reuse Project is a man-made wetland area covering nearly 2,000 acres with more than one million aquatic plants that naturally purify the water. From this wetland project, we can pump up to 90 million gallons of water per day to Lavon Lake.
