Temporary Connection to Dallas Water Utilities

The Dallas County Park Cities Municipal Utility District (DCPCMUD), which supplies University Park’s water, will temporarily connect to Dallas Water Utilities and blend Dallas water with our usual supply due to a drop in normal chlorine levels following a treatment issue at the DCPCMUD’s plant.

Chlorine levels remain within a safe range and are stabilizing. Residents may not notice any difference as the water supplies are blended. City crews are also flushing water lines near the connection point, so residents may notice water flowing in the area.

We will post an update once available.
