Upper Trinity Regional Water District

The Upper Trinity Regional Water District has a very clear mission; to provide utility services that its customers need, all without any power of taxation. Upper Trinity is a governmental enterprise that provides utility service on a wholesale basis, an enterprise that gets all of its revenue from sale of needed services. The District was organized by the cities and utilities it serves and was designed to be progressive, responsive, and competitive. The District is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by its members and is considered by many to be a model regional agency. Members of the District set the policies of the District and establish the programs through their direct representation on the Board of Directors. Consequently, the services provided by the District fit local needs and are in response to the requests of District Members. Since the District has no taxation powers, it must remain focused on its mission, in that the District relies solely on the revenue from services that customers choose to buy.
