Water and Wastewater Master Plan

The City currently provides water and wastewater service to approximately 16,000 customers, including customers within the Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 169 (FBC MUD 169), which consists of the Cross Creek Ranch subdivision (CCR). Over the next twenty years, the population in the water and wastewater current and future service areas is expected to grow to approximately 70,800 customers. The focus of this 2021 Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update was to analyze the existing water and wastewater infrastructure in Fulshear and develop improvement recommendations to accommodate the anticipated growth in an efficient and cost-effective manner. This report will provide the City of Fulshear with a planning tool that will serve as a guide for short-term and long-term capital improvement projects (CIP) to the water and wastewater infrastructure.

Water Conservation and Initiatives

The City of Fulshear recognizes that the amount of water available to the City and its water utility customers is limited and subject to depletion during periods of extended drought. In additional natural limitations due to drought conditions and other natural disasters cannot guarantee an uninterrupted water supply for all purposes. The Texas Water Code and applicable rules of the Texas Commission on Environmental Control require all Public Water Supply Systems in Texas to prepare a Drought Contingency Plan. The Drought Contingency Plan adopted by the City Council (Ordinance 2024-1456) established certain rules and policies for the orderly and efficient management of limited water supplies during drought and other water supply emergencies. The ordinance also adopts the Region H 2021 Water Plan for our area.

The City presented a draft update to the Drought Contingency Plan on April 16, 2024 to city council and was adopted in August 2024. The purpose of a Drought Contingency Plan is to conserve available water supply in times of drought, water supply shortage, and emergency; maintain supplies for domestic water use, sanitation and fire protection; to protect and preserve the public health, welfare and safety; minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages (to include high demand), emergency water supply conditions; and to satisfy the requirements set forth by the TCEQ and other agencies.

In addition, the City of Fulshear, in order to conserve the available water supply and/or to protect the integrity of water supply facilities, with particular regard to domestic water use, sanitation and fire protection, and to protect and preserve public health, welfare and safety, and to minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortage or other water supply emergency conditions, has adopted a Water Conservation Plan. The plan contains goals of the program. The overall intent of the Program is to minimize water loss in the overall system.
