Texas Water Utility Companies
Where does our municipal water come from? Galveston County W.C.I.D. No.1 customers receive treated water from Gulf Coast Water Authority's Thomas S. Mackey Water Treatment Plant in Texas City. Our water comes from Surface-water resources, specifically the BRAZOS RIVER.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is currently updating a Source Water Susceptibility Assessment for our water resources. This report will outline the vulnerability and potential contaminant sources that could affect our water supply based on human activities and environmental conditions. This information helps us prioritize source water protection strategies.
The TCEQ's assessment indicates some of our water sources are susceptible to certain contaminants. Our sampling requirements are based on this susceptibility analysis and previous testing data. For information about source water assessments and protection efforts, please contact General Manager, David A. Paulissen at 281-337-1576.
In our water loss audit submitted to the Texas Water Development Board (January-December 2017), we lost an estimated 144,380,356 gallons of water. Questions about this audit? Call 281-337-1576.
Our Board of Directors and staff are committed to providing the highest quality water and wastewater services at the lowest possible cost.
