TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1

MUD News Items:
MUD Information:

A Municipal Utility District (MUD) is chartered by the State of Texas. The primary responsibility of a MUD is to provide water and sewer service in an area not initially within the boundary of a city. A MUD has taxing authority and is used by a developer to allow him to recover a portion of his initial investment without having to add the total cost of infrastructure to the lot price. When the Trophy Club area was initially developed, the Town of Trophy Club was not yet incorporated. As a result, MUD districts were set in place to provide water and sewer service.

Before there was a Town, the area we now know as Trophy Club was originally designed with five MUDs planned. MUD1 was the original MUD and was formed in 1975. In the early 1980's, MUDs 2 & 3 were formed as development began to occur in those areas. MUD2 originally was the area west of the creek that crosses under Trophy Club Drive near Tom Thumb. This originally included the area known as "Village West" over by Lakeview Elementary school and the Baptist Church. MUD3 was the area on the East side of town, between Timberline and Harmony Park. In 1985 the Town of Trophy Club was incorporated and in July of 1990, MUDs 2 & 3 consolidated into what was known as MUD2. Subsequently, there was an agreement that all remaining land would become part of MUD2 rather than creating any new MUDs.

Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 is currently governed by a ten-member Board until an election is held in May of 2010 to reelect a five-member Board. The Board Members will serve either a two-year term or a four-year term. The day-to-day operation is managed by District Manager Robert Scott.

Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 provides water, wastewater treatment, and fire protection to the Town of Trophy Club and parts of Solana. The operational costs, with the exception of the fire department, are paid entirely by water and sewer revenues. TCMUD No. 1 is approximately 60% developed (with the exception of the undeveloped land in the Solana complex) and has a valuation in excess of $911 million. The Solana complex located south of 114 was annexed into the District in the 1980s and provides a significant portion of the valuation.

Solana Facility
In 1982, the Partnership that was building the area now known as Solana, located in Westlake along with the City of Westlake, approached MUD1 to request water, sewer and fire protection, as MUD1 had all three capabilities already in place. At that time there was no Town of Trophy Club as the Town was not incorporated until 1985. With agreement from Westlake, Solana was annexed into MUD1 in 1983.
