The North Fort Bend Water Authority (NFBWA) was created in 2005 by the Texas Legislature to help provide a reliable source of surface water to our rapidly growing region. We partner with Municipal Utility Districts (MUD) to deliver that water and help prevent the harmful effects of excess groundwater usage. The NFBWA fee on your water bill pays for the big infrastructure projects that bring clean water to your faucets. The charges are based on every 1,000 gallons of water used.

Transporting millions of gallons of surface water from east Houston is challenging. The NFBWA fee pays for the large-scale infrastructure projects that do just that. The reason it’s important to bring surface water to our region is to keep the ground from sinking, called subsidence. Too much sinking can damage property and contribute to severe flooding. The vast majority of the NFBWA fee pays for the network of pumps, pipes, and treatment facilities that transport, clean, and deliver water to your faucets. It also pays for surface water rights, operations, maintenance, and the administration of putting it all together.
