Garland.
Your water report.

Early Garland homes each had their own well. In the early 1920s voters approved a $100,000 bond for a 2,300-foot well and an overhead storage tank so homes and businesses could have running water. In 1951 Garland was one of the ten original member cities of the North Texas Municipal Water District. Today all of the city's treated water is bought from the district, which pumps from six sources: Bois d'Arc Lake, Lavon Lake, Jim Chapman Lake, Lake Tawakoni, Lake Texoma and the East Fork wetland. Lavon Lake is the main source.
