What's New at Mustang: Infrastructure and Sustainability, Conservation, Dog Days of Summer

Founded in 1966 as a water supply corporation with just 50 connections, Mustang Special Utility District proudly manages water delivery and reclamation for more than 135K residents through more than 45K metered connections across 220 square miles in Denton, Collin, and Grayson Counties.

Recognized as a "Superior Water Company" by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, we are devoted to delivering reliable, sustainable,
and efficient water services to our valued customers, and dedicated to being
a trusted resource and committed community partner.

Supporting a Sustainable Water Future

Welcome to Part Three of our education series designed to help our communities better understand where our water comes from, how growth is affecting supply, and what it means for our future.

Growth across North Texas is easy to see, but the impact on our water supply is not. With more people moving to Collin, Denton, and Grayson counties, demand keeps climbing.

Find out how Mustang navigates today's challenges and how we are preparing for long-term sustainability.

Conservation Needs Are Heating Up

As temperatures climb and summer demand rises, every drop of water matters. Simple actions like watering only when needed (it's less than you think!) and fixing leaks promptly can make a meaningful difference in protecting our shared water supply. By making smart water choices now, we can all help keep our water supply healthy and reliable throughout the hottest months of the year.

Keeping Your Payments Protected

Ruff Days Ahead? No Worries!

The Dog Days of Summer refer to the sultry, often oppressive stretch of mid-summer heat and humidity that frequent the DFW landscape, typically from July 3 until August 11. And while it's always a priority to keep our families safe from the brutal heat by staying hydrated as best we can, our furry friends need the same type of TLC when it comes to keeping water top of mind in the heat of summer.

DID YOU KNOW?

You Say HOLIDAY, We Say HYDRATION! When the heat index hits 100°F, your body can lose up to one full quart (32 ounces) of water every hour through sweat alone. When outside in extreme heat, stay ahead of dehydration by drinking one cup (8 ounces) of water every 15 to 20 minutes, rather than waiting until you feel thirsty.
