Protecting existing water sources is also part of planning for the future! As water needs and conditions change, maintaining the quality of the sources communities already rely on can help utilities and authorities, like TRA, manage future supply and treatment needs.

The TRA Master Plan outlines how the Authority is taking steps today to protect and conserve our water systems for the future. https://trinityra.org/basin_planning/index.php

Source water protection is a shared responsibility! Protecting drinking water takes utilities, local governments, landowners, community organizations and residents across the basin area working together.

Check out how TRA is planning and protecting the watershed and source water that supports the more than 8 million residents relying on us for clean water: https://trinityra.org/basin_planning/wp/index.php
