The corporation, a member-owned nonprofit, provides water service to 2,635 connections in Denton County, according to its website.
The background
As North Texas continues to experience reduced rainfall and drought conditions, corporation officials said in a news release that they would like people to practice water conservation measures by watering lawns on their allowed watering days.
"For the month of June, members of CTWSC used an average of 26,100 gallons per household, which is a significantly higher average monthly usage than in previous years," the release states.
The details
Cross Timbers Water Supply Corporation, based in Argyle, will begin capital improvements of the water lines to 8-inch lines in the Stonewood area of town while also adding fire hydrants. The work will begin sometime late this summer and is expected to take two months to complete, the release states.
The current backflow testing program is ongoing, yet over 35% of corporation members have not completed the required testing.
"We urge all homeowners with a sprinkler/irrigation system (in addition to any wells with a cross-connect to the CTWSC water line) to get their backflow device inspected," the release states. "This program is mandated from the state of Texas's TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) and will help keep our water source protected."
For members who do not have a sprinkler system but have received a letter regarding testing, contact CTWSC.
