" Several Region C water suppliers have received permits to reuse return flows of treated
wastewater in Region C and are developing projects to use those supplies.
" The Upper Trinity Regional Water District has received a water right permit for the proposed
Lake Ralph Hall on the North Sulphur River in Fannin County.
* Region C water suppliers are considering the development of water supplies in the Sulphur Basin
to the east. Alternatives include Lake Wright Patman, the proposed George Parkhouse
Reservoirs (North and South), the proposed Marvin Nichols Reservoir, and the proposed Marvin
Nichols Reservoir (South). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has ongoing studies to determine
the optimal options for water supply in the Sulphur River Basin.
" Region C water suppliers are exploring obtaining water from existing sources in Oklahoma and
from Toledo Bend Reservoir in East Texas.
" Other Region C suppliers are planning and developing smaller water supply projects to meet
local needs.
As discussed in Section 1.4.3, there has been increasing reuse of treated wastewater in Region C in recent
years. There are several permits for significant indirect reuse projects in the region. In addition to these
permitted indirect reuse projects, many of the reservoirs in Region C make indirect reuse of treated
wastewater return flows in their watersheds, which increase reservoir yields. Direct reuse, often for
irrigation of golf courses, is also increasing in the region. It is clear that reuse of treated wastewater will
remain a significant part of future water planning for Region C.
1.6.2 Recommendations in the 2011Region C Water Plan and the 2012 State Water Plan
The most significant recommendations for Region C in the 2011 Region C Water Plan (8) and the 2012 State
Water Plan (9) are summarized below. (A more detailed discussion of the recommendations is available in
the original documents.)
A large part of the water supplied in Region C is provided by five major water providers: Dallas Water
Utilities, Tarrant Regional Water District, North Texas Municipal Water District, Fort Worth, and the Trinity
River Authority. In the 2011 Region C Water Plan and the 2012 State Water Plan, these five entities are
expected to provide the majority of the water supply for Region C through 2060. Recommended water
management strategies in the 2011 Region C Water Plan and the 2012 State Water Plan to meet the needs
of these major water providers include the following:
