Cost

Usage

* Under the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) contract, cities historically paid for water based on their single greatest year of usage.  Richardson’s “Take or Pay” volume of 11,019,311,000 gallons was delivered to the City in fiscal year 2001.  Effective with fiscal year 2021, this methodology was amended to transition the existing Take or Pay methodology to one based on a rolling five year usage.  The transition will take place over a thirteen year period.  The City’s "Take or Pay" amount for fiscal year 2024 will be 10,823,489,000 gallons.
