In honor of Tarrant Regional Water District’s centennial, the District has received special recognition from its primary wholesale water partners across North Texas. The Cities of Fort Worth, Arlington, and Mansfield, along with the Trinity River Authority, have recognized TRWD’s century of dedication to our region’s water needs.
TRWD was created in 1924 as a flood control agency in response to the massive and devastating flood along the Trinity River in Fort Worth. In 1926, the District’s mandate was expanded to include water supply for the region, and later built four water supply reservoirs in North Texas.
Over the years, TRWD built 70 plus miles of Trinity Trails System and three parks that enhance the quality of life for those who live and work in Tarrant County.
Today, the District supplies water to more than 2.3 million people, and maintains a 27-mile floodway that was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to safeguard Fort Worth homes and businesses from flooding. The District also works closely with our wholesale water customers, to ensure reliable and safe water to residents and businesses every day.
From ensuring reliable water supplies to providing vital flood protection and creating recreational spaces that enhance quality of life, TRWD’s century of service has helped shape the region we know today.
