Our Story
The District is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors elected by registered voters within the District boundaries. These Board members serve without compensation for 4-year terms. Elections are held in May of each even-numbered year for three or four of the open positions. Officers are selected by the Board members in June after election results are canvassed, the Oath of Office has been administered and each new Board has been seated.
The First Board of Directors were appointed by Gov. Dolph Briscoe when the District was formed in 1975 and included Bob Fincher, John McKee, Joe E. Cox, Bill Forrester, J.N. Loden, Clifton Smith with Dillard Smith serving as President. HB 2171 establishes West Cedar Creek M.U.D. as a conservation and reclamation district within Henderson County, Texas.

Board of Directors
The Board of Directors determine the District’s policies, ensuring that the District operates within the guidelines of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Texas Water Code Chapter 49, the Environmental Protection Agency and any legislation, federal or state, that affects the treatment or distribution of potable water and the collection and treatment of wastewater. The Board also determines the rate structures imposed on its customers in order to continue growth of the system and maintenance of its current infrastructure. The Board also hires the General Manager, who oversees hiring the Management and Support Staff.
Board meetings are at 6:00 P.M. on the fourth Monday of the month, at the District office. These meetings, and any special meetings that may be called, are always open to the public. Personnel, legal, real estate and security matters are discussed in closed Executive Session, with any action to be taken on these issues voted on when the members return to Open Session. Persons wishing to address the Board with an issue that will require Board action must request that item and their name to be placed on the published agenda. The written request for inclusion on the agenda must be received at the District office by the second Tuesday of each month. Agendas are published and posted at least 72 hours prior to any meeting.
