STRATEGIC PLAN HIGHLIGHT: Goal 1 – Provide Superior Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Services Today One of the greatest responsibilities of the North Texas Municipal Water District is to produce and maintain safe drinking water for the more than 1.6 million North Texans we serve. In the 2017 Strategic Plan, the first objective under Goal 1 – Provide Superior Water, Wastewater and Solid Waste Services Today is to “Improve water quality by implementing new technologies and processes.” The District has always made it a goal to meet all federal and state regulatory standards. Given the complexity, size of our system and resources available, maintaining these standards has required constant vigilance. We continuously monitor and test an average of 685 samples every day to ensure drinking water meets or exceeds regulatory, health and aesthetic standards set by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Safe Drinking Water Act.
