NFBWA

The NFBWA was created in 2005 to prevent subsidence as part of the Fort Bend Subsidence District "FBSD" Regulatory Plan. ​ The Texas legislature created the NFBWA, determined our 141 square mile boundary, and regulated how we receive the funding necessary to accomplish our mission of preventing subsidence. The FBSD mandates groundwater reduction requirements that the NFBWA must achieve... Thanks to years of hard work, NFBWA is the go-to source for local information regarding water, irrigation, and conservation. We are your partners in water protection and look forward to working together with residents, community organizations, and schools in our area... The NFBWA serves as an umbrella for its Groundwater Reduction Plan ("GRP") Participants in order to secure a plentiful and cost-effective source of water that is not groundwater, termed "alternative water". The cost would be exponential if each retail water provider had to secure their own water rights to an alternative water source..
