Texas Water utilizes many different resources to supply water to our systems. These sources include purchased water, groundwater from the Trinity Aquifer, and surface water from Canyon Lake. Some systems receive water from a blend of these sources.
Surface Water
Systems in the Canyon Lake Area receive surface water from the Canyon Lake Reservoir. In addition to
providing drinking water, the lake is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to mitigate flood damage to the Guadalupe River Basin and offers recreation opportunities in Texas.
GROUNDWATER
Texas Water Company utilizes almost 40 active wells to supply groundwater to customers. Groundwater is helpful from a water quality perspective because it does not contain the amount of organic material and contaminants seen in surface water, so it does not typically require filtration; it only requires disinfection.
Purchased Water
Texas Water Company purchases water from the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and the Guadalupe Blanco River Authority (GBRA). The Texas Water Company ensures that service and water quality are maintained within the water system that serves our customers.
