Summary

The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) adopts 31 Texas Administrative Code §§358.10 - 358.15. Sections 358.10 - 358.12 and 358.15 are adopted with changes to the proposed text as published in the April 17, 2026, issue of the Texas Register (51 TexReg 2502) and will be republished. Sections 385.13 and 358.14 are adopted without changes to the proposed text and will not be republished. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE FACTUAL BASIS FOR THE ADOPTED AMENDMENT. This rulemaking implements House Bill (HB) 29 from the 89th Texas Legislative Session, codified as Texas Water Code §16.0122. HB 29 created certain new responsibilities for municipally owned utilities that provide potable water through more than 150,000 service connections. This rulemaking covers the portions of Texas Water Code §16.0122 that deal with the TWDB's responsibilities. In a separate filing with the Texas Register, the TWDB adopts a repeal within 31 TAC Chapter 358. With this rulemaking, the TWDB will reorganize that chapter and add a new subchapter. The existing text of §358.6, with some amendments, will remain in the new sections adopted in this rulemaking. SECTION BY SECTION DISCUSSION OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS....
