UTILITY HISTORY

Rockwall water: an original NTMWD member city

Rockwall was one of the ten original member cities of the North Texas Municipal Water District, created in 1951 as a special district of the state. Congress had authorized Lavon Lake in 1945, and the district's first treated-water plant began operating in 1956. Today the City of Rockwall buys treated water from the district's Wylie Water Treatment Plant. According to the city's 2025 report, that water comes from Lavon Lake in Collin County, Jim Chapman Lake, Lake Texoma, Lake Tawakoni and the East Fork Raw Water Supply Project, a wetland in Kaufman County.
