Since our inception more than six decades ago, we have collaborated with North Texas cities and communities on the design and operation of our systems. The ten original Member Cities are: Farmersville, Forney, Garland, McKinney, Mesquite, Princeton, Plano, Rockwall, Royse City, and Wylie. Richardson joined as a Member City in 1973, Allen in 1998, and Frisco in 2001.

The North Texas Municipal Water District provides essential water, wastewater and solid waste disposal services to 2 million residents across 10 counties in the North Texas region.
