BACKGROUNDbody
The City of Rowlett is located in Dallas County adjacent to Lake Ray Hubbard. The City of Rowlett desires to purchase untreated water services from the City of Dallas under the terms of a standard untreated water customer contract. The contract will provide untreated water services for the period June 13, 2020 through June 12, 2023 and generate estimated revenues of approximately $129,734.00 per year.
The City of Dallas has water rights in Lake Ray Hubbard for multiple purposes, including rights for irrigation and recreation use. The untreated water diverted by the City of Rowlett for the purpose of irrigation of the Waterview Golf Course will be diverted from Lake Ray Hubbard, at City of Rowlett’s diversion points.
This water will be billed at the ordinance rate for untreated regular water service in accordance with Chapter 49. The sale of untreated water to the City of Rowlett is subject to, and limited by, available system supply. By allowing the City of Rowlett to utilize untreated water for irrigation, the City of Dallas is encouraging regional municipalities to further reduce the treated water demand in that area.
