The District is a political subdivision of the State of Texas, governed by an elected five member Board of Directors. The Board of Directors held its first meeting on December 12, 1971, and the first bonds were sold in August, 1972. The District is subject to the continuing supervision of the Texas Commission on Environmental Qualily and operates under Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code.
