Harlingen Waterworks System HWWS is committed to supplying our customers with the highest quality drinking water and wastewater services. These positions are strictly voluntary.

HWWS serves approximately 24,000 water customers in addition to Combes, Primera and Palm Valley. HWWS is a wholly owned department of the City of Harlingen, governed by the Harlingen City Charter and Ordinances. In 1978, Harlingen City Charter was adopted, by the voters, to establish the current governing Board of Trustees System, to insure HWWS was administered by current customers, within the system. The HWWS Board of Trustees consist of 5 local citizens, which are appointed by the City Commission, to represent and secure most decisions that maintain the fluidity of HWWS and its revenues. The serving term for any Trustee is 4 years, with a maximum of 2 consecutive 4 year terms.
