Where does the water we use come from?

The water in Terrell is supplied by North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) and primarily is sourced from Lake Tawakoni. NTMWD started a new water treatment facility in 2015 which receives water solely from Tawakoni. Lakes Lavon, Texoma and Chapman are alternate sources treated at the Wylie Plant in the event Tawakoni is temporarily shutdown.
