The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is an environmental agency that protects Texas’ public health and natural resources, including clean air, clean water, and the safe management of waste. TCEQ has established regulations that water systems, including Texas Water Utilities, are required to follow. We regularly monitor for a number of water quality factors and report findings to TCEQ.
Texas Water Utilities is required to share all notices of violation with our customers, which are sent with your next bill following a violation.

The drinking water exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for total trihalomethanes. The EPA maximum amount is 0.080 mg/L and ours tested at 0.108 mg/L and 0.103 mg/L on two samples.
