Service area: Mesquite municipal water, wastewater, sanitation, drainage, and related city utility service area

Population: 150,108 residents (2020 U.S. Census); the Census Bureau's current July 1, 2025 QuickFacts estimate is reported as NA, so this record uses the last published decennial population rather than an unsupported projection. The utility serves City of Mesquite retail accounts.

Service area: Brownsville and surrounding BPUB water and wastewater service areas in the Lower Rio Grande Valley

Population: 186,738 residents in Brownsville (2020 U.S. Census; the Census Bureau QuickFacts page reports a 2020 estimate base of 186,331). BPUB's public water page describes service to Brownsville and surrounding areas, so the city population is used as a conservative public proxy rather than claiming an unsupported exact CWS population.

Service area: City of Killeen municipal water, wastewater, drainage, and utility-account service area

Population: 153,095 residents in Killeen (2020 U.S. Census). The City reported a Census Bureau estimate of 160,616 for July 1, 2024 and stated that revised 2025 estimates were expected after local building-permit data were supplemented; this record uses the official 2020 count plus that documented growth context rather than inventing a 2026 CWS total.

The population figure is the utility's published service-population proxy; account totals are the more current operational measure.

Service area: City of Pasadena municipal water, wastewater, and garbage service area in Harris County

Population: The City of Pasadena Water Billing Department reports approximately 36,000 billed utility accounts. Census QuickFacts reports 148,539 residents in the July 1, 2025 population estimate and 151,950 in the 2020 Census; the municipal population is used as the public service-population proxy.

Service area: City of Carrollton municipal water, wastewater, sanitation, recycling, and stormwater service area

Population: Census QuickFacts estimates 134,562 residents in Carrollton on July 1, 2025, with 133,434 in the 2020 Census. City financial materials use a 2025 planning estimate of 136,543; the record uses the current Census estimate with the City planning figure as context.

Service area: City of Grand Prairie municipal water, wastewater, garbage/recycling, and stormwater service area

Population: 209,434 Census QuickFacts population estimate for July 1, 2025 and 196,100 in the 2020 Census; the City's 2025–26 annual report cites 212,098. The record uses the City/Census population as the service-population proxy.

Service area: City of Sugar Land municipal water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid-waste service area

Population: 111,026 residents in the 2020 Census, the current population figure published by the City of Sugar Land and Census profile. The City reports approximately 40,000 water meters in the municipal service area; the meter count is a useful utility-scale indicator because the City has not published a separate 2026 water-population estimate in the reviewed billing materials.

Service area: City of Richardson municipal water, wastewater, irrigation, drainage, and solid-waste service area

Population: 119,469 residents in the 2020 Census; the Census QuickFacts result reports a -0.8% change from the 2020 estimate base to July 1, 2025, and the North Central Texas Council of Governments lists a January 1, 2026 estimate of 124,859.

Bryan Texas Utilities provides the City's water and electric services and the BTU bill also carries wastewater, solid waste, drainage, and transportation charges; the municipal population is used as the public service-area proxy.

Service area: Midland and eligible outside-city water and wastewater customers in Midland County

Population: The City of Midland had 132,524 residents in the 2020 Census and the City's water-planning material identifies an ultimate population of about 118,000 served by the current system; the billing system also serves eligible outside-city accounts.

Service area: Round Rock and portions of the surrounding service area, including several Municipal Utility Districts

Population: The City’s July 2026 estimate is 142,918 residents within the city limits. The FY2026 budget identifies approximately 40,000 active utility customers, and the water service area also includes several nearby MUDs outside the city limits.

Service area: Georgetown and City of Georgetown water and wastewater service areas in Williamson County

Population: The Census Bureau estimates Georgetown’s July 1, 2025 population at 106,907, up from 67,176 in the 2020 Census. The City’s water and wastewater service area includes Georgetown customers and can include separately governed MUD or non-City entities whose deposits and service rules may differ.

Service area: Pearland and City water customers in the Pearland jurisdiction, including customers assessed MUD surcharges

Population: The Census Bureau’s current city profile reports approximately 125,828 people for Pearland. City water service includes municipal customers and certain customers in or associated with MUD service areas, for which the City publishes meter-size surcharges; a separate active water-connection total was not stated on the current customer pages.

Service area: Victoria

Population: Approximately 66,500 residents in the City of Victoria (U.S. Census Bureau July 1, 2025 estimate); the City budget reports approximately 23,440 water customers and 22,121 sewer customers in its most recently published utility operating data.

Service area: Cedar Park and connected areas of the Cedar Park utility service area

Population: The City’s water-utility code estimates the 2024 water service-area population at approximately 101,648; the Census Bureau estimates Cedar Park city itself at approximately 78,380 residents in 2024. The utility bills city water, wastewater, trash, and certain district-related charges, so the billing footprint is larger than the city’s residential population alone.

Service area: Flower Mound

Population: Approximately 81,925 residents in the Town of Flower Mound in 2025 according to the Town’s demographics page; the Town’s 2025 utility presentation reports approximately 26,465 water accounts and 23,100 sewer accounts.

Service area: Pflugerville and City retail water/wastewater service areas

Population: Approximately 68,316 residents in the City of Pflugerville according to the U.S. Census Bureau July 1, 2025 estimate. The City’s 2026 water-shortage declaration identifies approximately 64,193 water customers and essential community facilities, which is the better operational service-population measure for the retail system.

Service area: Wylie and adjacent Collin/Dallas County service areas

Population: The EPA SDWIS profile for PWS TX0430011 lists 48,393 people served; the City of Wylie’s July 2025 Census estimate is 63,842 residents, and the FY2026 utility budget reports approximately 17,600 monthly water, sewer, and trash accounts.

Service area: Allen and the City of Allen water and wastewater service area

Population: EPA/TCEQ-linked PWS TX0430025 records identify the City of Allen water system as a Community Water System serving approximately 104,870 people. Allen’s 2024 water-conservation plan reports a current water and wastewater service-area population of approximately 111,218 across about 27 square miles.

Service area: Baytown and the City of Baytown water, sewer, garbage, recycling, and drainage service area

Population: PWS TX1010003 is a Community Water System serving approximately 83,701 people in the latest published state-organized system listing; an EPA-linked profile has also reported 72,312 in an earlier data vintage. Baytown’s city population is approximately 84,000, so the current system should be treated as a roughly 84,000-person municipal service area.

Service area: City of Katy municipal water, sewer, and garbage service area

Population: EPA SDWIS PWS TX1010017 identifies CITY OF KATY as an active Community Water System, local-government owned, serving approximately 25,253 people in Harris County. The system is a municipal provider and does not represent every surrounding Katy-address MUD or private district.

Population: EPA-linked PWS TX0030004, CITY OF LUFKIN, is an active Community Water System serving approximately 51,236 people. The City’s utility budget materials report roughly 16,000 meters read and approximately 16,000 monthly bills, covering water, wastewater, and sanitation accounts.

Service area: Texarkana, Texas and the Texarkana Water Utilities municipal service area

Population: EPA-linked PWS TX0190004, TEXARKANA WATER UTILITIES, is a Community Water System serving approximately 39,678 people. The Utility’s customer-service page says it assists more than 30,000 customers and processes more than 20,000 payments per month; the system also serves municipal water customers beyond the billing office’s direct account count.

Service area: Mansfield and the City of Mansfield water-utility service area in Tarrant County

Population: EPA-linked PWS TX2200018, CITY OF MANSFIELD, is reported as a Community Water System serving approximately 68,612 people. The City’s fiscal planning documents separately estimate the broader municipal population at a higher figure, so the SDWIS system population is used here for the drinking-water system estimate.

Service area: Cleburne and the City of Cleburne water, sewer, and sanitation service area in Johnson County

Population: EPA-linked PWS TX1260003, CITY OF CLEBURNE, is reported at approximately 30,573 people by the current EPA-derived utility profile. Other Texas project records show population figures around 31,352–34,075 depending on reporting year and boundary, so 30,573 is retained as the current system estimate with the reporting variation noted.

Service area: Midlothian and the City of Midlothian retail water and wastewater service area in Ellis County

Population: EPA-linked PWS TX0700005, CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN, is reported at approximately 21,450 people in the current EPA-derived utility profile. Other public records show lower historical snapshots, including approximately 16,728, so the current profile estimate is retained with the expected reporting-year variation.

Service area: Kerrville and the City of Kerrville municipal water, sewer, and garbage service area in Kerr County

Population: EPA-derived current utility records identify CITY OF KERRVILLE as a Community Water System serving approximately 23,489 people. Public profile snapshots vary, including approximately 21,450–26,000 depending on reporting year and system boundary; the current estimate is retained as a drinking-water-system figure rather than the City’s total regional population.

Service area: Sherman and the City of Sherman water, wastewater, trash, and stormwater service area in Grayson County

Population: EPA-linked PWS TX0910006, CITY OF SHERMAN, is reported at approximately 43,645 people in current Texas Water Development Board and EPA-derived records. The City’s wastewater permit separately identifies about 44,000 Sherman collection-system residents; the drinking-water-system estimate is retained as 43,645.

Service area: Wichita Falls and the City of Wichita Falls retail water, wastewater, refuse, and stormwater service area in Wichita County

Population: EPA-derived PWS TX2430001 (CITY OF WICHITA FALLS) serves approximately 102,316 people in current SDWIS-derived public records. The City’s current AMI materials also identify approximately 34,000 retail meters and the Water Distribution page reports more than 35,000 active meters, so the customer-meter count and population estimate represent different measures.

Service area: Harker Heights and the City utility service area in Bell County, including inside- and outside-CCN customers

Population: EPA-derived public water system TX0140023 (CITY OF HARKER HEIGHTS) serves approximately 34,834–35,957 people in the latest publicly indexed records. The City’s 2024 water-quality report projects a build-out population of about 45,000, so the current served estimate and long-range planning number should not be conflated.

Service area: Denison and the City of Denison water, wastewater, and refuse service area in Grayson County, including inside- and outside-city customers

Population: EPA/Texas public-water records identify City of Denison PWS TX0910003 with an estimated population served of approximately 24,872; a 2020 public-water funding record listed 22,682. The City’s 2020 Census population was approximately 24,479, so the directory should treat 24,872 as the current indexed system estimate rather than a guaranteed current census count.

Service area: Ennis and the City of Ennis water, wastewater, and garbage service area in Ellis County

Population: EPA-derived public records identify CITY OF ENNIS PWS TX0700001 serving approximately 24,891 people. The City’s 2020 Census population was about 20,159 and the system serves Ennis and nearby Palmer-area customers in indexed utility records, so the PWS population is the appropriate water-system estimate rather than the city-limit census figure.

Service area: Palestine and the City of Palestine water, wastewater, and solid-waste service area in Anderson County

Population: EPA-derived public-water records identify City of Palestine PWS TX0010001 and approximately 24,891 people served. The Census Bureau estimates the City of Palestine at 19,555 people in 2025, so the PWS figure can include service-area customers beyond the incorporated population.

Service area: Paris and the City of Paris water, wastewater, and residential solid-waste service area in Lamar County, including Reno-area customers served by the system

Population: Texas Water Development Board’s SFY2026 public-water funding list identifies City of Paris PWS TX1390002 with approximately 24,476 people served. The City’s utility office reports services for nearly 10,000 households each month, while the PWS population includes the broader water service area.

Service area: Waxahachie and the City of Waxahachie water, wastewater, and related utility service area in Ellis County

Population: The EPA/TCEQ-indexed public-water record for PWS TX0700008 reports approximately 33,021 people served. Current Census city estimates are approximately 50,090 and current indexed water-quality sources vary up to roughly 50,814, so the PWS figure is used as the direct utility-system estimate and the city estimates are contextual.

Service area: Seguin and the City of Seguin municipal water and wastewater service area in Guadalupe County

Population: An indexed 2026 water-quality record for City of Seguin PWS TX0940001 reports approximately 32,736 residents served. The City is experiencing rapid growth, so the regulated-system estimate may differ from the current city population and from the broader municipal utility customer count.

Service area: Boerne and Boerne Utilities municipal service territory in Kendall County

Population: Approximately 21,000 municipal water customers/residents, using the City of Boerne's current municipal service area and current city population as a contextual estimate; the public utility pages do not expose a single current regulated PWS population figure.

Texas directory notes

How to compare water utilities in Texas

This state hub brings together 400 indexed community water systems, from city departments and public authorities to investor-owned systems and smaller regional providers. A service area may cross municipal boundaries, so use the provider name and service address on your bill when choosing a profile.

The most important distinction is between a directory listing and an official account channel. Water Ledger provides a structured starting point; the utility’s own payment portal, published rate schedule, customer-service office, and mailed notice control your account. Compare the payment route, billing frequency, emergency number, and customer-protection notes before relying on a page for a time-sensitive decision.

If you are helping a household with a high bill, leak, or delinquency notice, open the utility profile and review the payment, shut-off, and leak-adjustment guides together. Keep the bill, account number, confirmation receipts, repair records, and notice dates available when speaking with the provider.
