Trophy Club

Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 provides water, sewer, wastewater treatment, and fire protection to the Town of Trophy Club and parts of Solana in Westlake. Why do we have a MUD? Would it cost less for the Town to provide these services? The primary responsibility of a MUD is to provide water and sewer services. When the Trophy Club area was initially developed, the Town of Trophy Club was not yet incorporated. As a result, MUD districts were set in place to provide water and sewer service. The Solana complex in Westlake located south of 114 was annexed into the District in 1983 at the request of the property owner and with the consent of the Town of Westlake. The Town of Trophy Club had not yet been formed. It provides a significant portion of the valuation, making up approximately 17% of our tax base. A MUD is able to collect taxes on property in another town or city (like the Solana complex) but a Town is not. Without Solana, the residents' tax burden would increase significantly and the fixed costs of operating the water and wastewater systems would be shared among fewer customers, resulting in higher rates.
