The Water Source: June 5, 2026

As Texas Water Company (TWC) continues investing in the communities we serve, our focus remains on delivering safe, reliable water service while planning responsibly for the future. From infrastructure improvements and water quality protections to conservation initiatives and updated development standards, every decision is guided by a commitment to long-term sustainability and service reliability.

In this edition of The Water Source, we’re highlighting how the One Water approach influences our operations, sharing progress on the Canyon Lake Hills infrastructure project and providing insight into the measures in place to protect water quality and support responsible community planning.

What is One Water?

At TWC, we believe every drop has value.

The One Water approach recognizes that all water resources are connected and should be managed thoughtfully and responsibly. By considering groundwater, reclaimed water, stormwater and other water resources as part of a larger system, communities can build resilient and sustainable water supplies for the future.

This philosophy helps guide how we manage resources, invest in infrastructure, and support conservation efforts across our service areas.

Did you know that purple pipe has a purpose? If you’ve noticed purple pipes around some of our facilities, you’re seeing the One Water approach in action.

Purple pipe is the industry-standard color used to identify reclaimed or recycled water systems. These systems allow reclaimed water to be used for appropriate non-potable purposes, helping conserve drinking water supplies while making the most of available resources.

Define: Potable (pronounced POH-tuh-bul)
Potable is an adjective that means safe and suitable for drinking. It is safe for human consumption—either for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, or food preparation.

Additional conservation efforts across TWC facilities include drought-tolerant landscaping and the use of reclaimed water in environmental restoration projects.

Canyon Lake Hills Main Replacement

One example of TWC’s continued investment in system reliability is the Canyon Lake Hills improvement project that includes the replacement of approximately 128,000 feet of water main.

Phase 1B Update: Paradise Drive
A section of the new 12-inch water man extending from the intersection of Scenic Drive and Lighthouse Drive to the intersection of Paradise Drive and Green Hill Drive is now live and in service.

Hydroseeding and general cleanup along the project corridor are scheduled to begin soon. Driveway repairs are currently underway, and residents will continue to receive advance notice before concrete or asphalt work is performed near their property.

Looking Ahead: Phase 2
Planning for the next phase of work has begun. Contracts are currently being drafted, and materials are being finalized for construction on the east side of Canyon Lake Hills.

Phase 2 is expected to include improvements along:

• Stagecoach Drive
• Lake Breeze Drive
• Driftwind Drive
• Country Lane Drive
• Edge Hill Drive

As work progresses, TWC will continue providing updates to keep residents informed about project milestones and anticipated construction activities.

Once complete, these improvements will help enhance water quality, strengthen system reliability, and improve fire flow capabilities throughout the community.

The Canyon Lake Hills project is one of many projects taking place in TWC service areas. As additional milestones are reached, we will be sharing project updates in future editions of The Water Source.

Protecting Water Quality

Providing safe, reliable drinking water remains our highest priority.

TWC operates under strict regulations established by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Water systems are subject to rigorous testing, monitoring, and reporting requirements designed to ensure compliance with state and federal drinking water standards.

Any system improvements, development activities and operational decisions must meet these regulatory requirements and are subject to ongoing oversight. Protecting water quality is not only a regulatory obligation—it’s a responsibility we take seriously every day through continuous monitoring, operational oversight, and investment in our systems.

We understand the importance of keeping our customers informed about the work being done throughout our service areas. Whether it’s investing in infrastructure, protecting water quality, or planning the future, our commitment remains the same: providing safe, reliable water service for the communities we serve.

Thank you for reading The Water Source. We will continue keeping you updated on projects, initiatives, and important community information.
