Have you ever wondered where our water comes from?

We just had a birthday!
Mustang Water Supply Corporation began 60 years ago, serving just 50 connections. A lot has changed over the last six decades, and today -- as Mustang Special Utility District -- we are proud to serve over 45,000 connections across Denton, Collin, and Grayson Counties.
| | |
But one thing has never changed: Our unwavering commitment to providing reliable, sustainable, and efficient water services to the communities we call home.
This milestone is possible because of the customers, employees, board members, community partners, and neighbors who have helped shape Mustang's story since 1966. Thank you for being part of our journey.
Here's to 60 years of service, growth, and community, and to the future we're building together.

Up to 50 percent of the water we use outdoors is lost to wind, evaporation, and runoff from inefficient irrigation. Poorly maintained irrigation systems can waste as much as 25,000 gallons of water each year.

Construction of a new well at the Temple Dane station near Cross Oak Ranch on FM 720 is complete and the well is operational.
This additional water source gives Mustang the ability to deliver an additional 1 million gallons per day to help meet peak demand.
With the completion of the new pump station and additional ground storage facility, Mustang is confidently preparing our already robust water portfolio to meet future demand.
| | New well at Temple Dane Pump Station | | Crescent Oaks Line Replacement | | |
Some residents in the Crescent Oaks subdivision near Martingale Trail and Yacht Club Road were connected to a new water line as part of a line replacement project. As existing pipes age, the chance of main breaks and emergency repairs increases. The more than one mile worth of new pipe helps reduce those risks and improve water pressure.
Additionally, fire hydrants were installed during construction to provide much needed water access for emergency crews. Planning for additional replacement work in the subdivision is underway and improvements will continue over the next several years.

New upgrades at the Houlihan Pump Station, located near the Denton-Collin County line on FM 428, are complete.
Crews installed three 200 horsepower (HP) pumps and one 60 HP pump, in addition to repairing the hydropneumatic tanks, which help keep water pressure steady and reduce how often the pumps need to cycle on and off.
These upgrades increase potential water delivery from 2,500 gallons per minute to more than 8,900 gallons per minute, ensuring Mustang is poised to support future growth in the area.
