About WCCMUD

Located in northwest Henderson County, WCCMUD serves the West side
of Cedar Creek Lake with water treatment and distribution, wastewater
collection and treatment. The District serves the cities of Seven Points
and Tool on State HWY 274 South of the city of Kemp.

In 1974, members of the Tolosa Water Supply Corporation and the City of
Seven Points recognized the need to upgrade the water treatment and
distribution system to meet the Texas State Department of Health
standards and to extend water service to a growing population. Heavily
populated areas were also in immediate need of a wastewater collection
and treatment system.

With support from the citizens of the area, the 64th Texas State
Legislature enacted H.B. 2171 on June 21, 1975 and the West Cedar
Creek Municipal Utility District was formed. Its purpose was to acquire
existing water and sewer systems serving its area, improve and extend
such systems, and/or construct new water and sewer systems.

With its purchase in January, 1978 of the Tolosa Water Supply
Corporation, the District begain its water treatment and distribution
operations. Other water supply companies were purchased in the late
1970's and early 1980's. All systems were interconnected and the District
now maintains and operates two modern water treatment plants and over
500 miles of water distribution lines. Water storage facilities include three
300,000 gallon elevated water storage tanks and ground storage tanks
containing over 3,300,000 gallons.

The District received a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency,
borrowed funds from Farmers Home Administration and in 1980-1981 a
wastewater treatment plant was built and main sewer collection lines
were laid. The District operates and maintains over 60 wastewater lift
stations and over 100 miles of sewer lines.

Over 6,700 households and businesses are served with water in over
500 square miles in Henderson and Kaufman Counties and over 3000
customers are connected to the wastewater system.
