Tarrant Regional Water District

Evolved regionally by 1996 after beginning as a county water improvement district.

Constructed 27 miles of flood

control levees, along with regional trails and wetland reuse systems.

Typical projects include raw water delivery, floodway maintenance, search

and

rescue patrols, environmental enforcement, and recreation area management.

Operates under a publicly elected five

member board.

Enjoys occasional spotlight, such as dive rescues by water patrols and its pioneering wetlands filtration recognized by conservation programs.
