City of Corsicana. The year 2011 wholesale and retail water sales by the City of Corsicana totaled 10,337
acre-feet. The City of Corsicana supplies treated surface water to a significant portion of Navarro County.
Corsicana has water rights in Lake Halbert and Richland-Chambers Reservoir and has a contract to
purchase water from Navarro Mills Lake from the Trinity River Authority. Corsicana currently uses water
from Lake Halbert, Navarro Mills Lake, and Richland-Chambers Reservoir. Corsicana has the capacity to
treat up to 4 million gallons per day at their Lake Halbert water treatment plant and up to 20 million
gallons per day at their Navarro Mills treatment plant.
Sulphur River Basin Authority (SRBA). SRBA does not currently provide water supply to entities in Region
C, but it is anticipated that SRBA will provide water from the Sulphur Basin (Sulphur Basin Supplies Strategy
outlined in Section 5B.3) to North Texas Municipal Water District, Tarrant Regional Water District, and
Upper Trinity Regional Water District and potentially supply water to Dallas and Irving. At the request of
SRBA, the Region C Water Planning Group voted to designate SRBA as a WWP on September 28, 2015.
1.5.3 Local Wholesale Water Providers
Twenty-eight other entities qualify as local wholesale water providers in Region C. These entities provide
or are expected to provide over 1,000 acre-feet of wholesale water per year. These entities have been
noted as "local" because they supply only a few customers in their immediate area. Table 1.9 includes
the local wholesale water providers and their total year 2011 water sales.
1.5.4 Retail Water Suppliers
Cities, towns, water supply corporations, and special utility districts provide most of the retail water
service in Region C. The Texas Water Development Board developed the term "water user group" (WUG)
to identify entities that regional water planning groups must include in their plans. The TWDB definition
for a water user group states that a WUG is defined as one of the following:
" Cities and towns with a population of 500 or more
* Non-city utilities providing more than 280 acre-feet per year of water for municipal use
* Collective reporting units (CRUs) consisting of grouped utilities having a common association
" County-Wide WUGs:
" County-Other (Rural/unincorporated areas of municipal water use)
" Manufacturing
