History - The Bartonville Water Supply Corporation began operation
in 1965 with 139 connections as a Non-Profit
Corporation established to serve as a public entity to provide a central
water system.
Location - Approximately 20 square miles of service area in
South Central Denton County. The Corporation provides water service
to most areas in the communities of Bartonville, Double Oak, and Copper
Canyon. Service is also provided to portions Highland Village, Flower
Mound, and Unincorporated Areas of Denton County. Click here for a map to Service Area.
Today - The Corporation currently provides water service to
approximately 2,060 connections and is the eighth largest water utility
in Denton County. Although growth trends slowed during the late 80's
and early 90's, the service area is now developing rapidly with new
and proposed residential subdivisions in most areas of the system. Based
on April 1990 census data information, population densities within the
service area are currently at 5,100 and is estimated to increase to
7,100 by the year 2001and approach 16,500 by the year 2025. Since 1989,
over $6 million dollars have been spent on system improvements. Some
of these include:
Stonewood Pump Station Reconstruction - Bartonville Area Copper Hill Pump Station and Well - Copper Canyon Area
Copper Canyon Road 12-inch Waterline (North/South Waterline)
Executed a Surface Water Contract with the Upper Trinity Regional
Water District and under our current agreement can receive and distribute
2 million gallons per day to our service area.
Established Emergency Inter-Connect with Argyle Water Supply Corporation
Facilities - There are currently 7 pump/ground storage stations
located throughout the service area.
Total storage tank capacities equal 4.1 Million Gallons. Combined well production (10 wells) equals 1.6 Million Gallons
per Day(MGD) at 18 hour per day safe operation.
Total booster pump capacities with one of two available pumps
per station in operation equals 5,600 Gallons Per Minute.
Two (2) Million Gallons per day available from the Upper Trinity
Regional Water District.
Combined UTRWD and Well production available equals 3.6 MGD
Operation - The water supply is operated in strict accordance
with the Texas Commission on Environmental Qualty (TCEQ). Inspections
are conducted annually by the TCEQ. The system is maintained and operated
by TCEQ licensed operators and water samples are collected monthly
for bacteriological analysis. A chemical analysis is conducted every
3 years by the TCEQ. Other analysis are also performed as requested
by the TCEQ.
Looking Ahead-In planning for the future, Bartonville Water
Supply Corporation is now updating its master plan. Existing facilities
along with recent capital improvement additions will allow system expansion
to 2,500 connections.
