LEWISVILLE, TX – August 14, 2024: Upper Trinity Regional Water District, a leading provider of high-quality water and wastewater services in North Texas, is proud to announce that all four of its water reclamation facilities have been honored with the Platinum Peak Performance Award for maintaining a record of 100% compliance for over five consecutive years.
The Platinum Peak Performance Award, presented by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), signifies Upper Trinity's persistent commitment to environmental care, regulatory compliance, and superior water treatment practices. These awards recognize the hard work of the District's staff members who ensure the processing and reliable treatment of wastewater from 15 communities within Upper Trinity's service area.
These four facilities have earned the trust of their communities by consistently exceeding regulatory treatment standards:
• Lakeview Plant (located in the City of Lake Dallas) has maintained perfect compliance since Upper Trinity began its operation twenty-five years ago; and, provides wastewater treatment services to the cities of Corinth and Highland Village, the towns of Double Oak and Bartonville, the Lake Cities Municipal Utility Authority (serving Lake Dallas, Hickory Creek and Shady Shores) and the Lantana community (served by Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 7). The Lakeview Plant holds the second longest period of perfect compliance in the State of Texas, and only eighteen facilities in the entire United States hold a longer period of perfect compliance than Lakeview.
• Peninsula Plant (located near the City of Oak Point) has maintained perfect compliance since the plant began operation twenty years ago; and, serves Mustang Special Utility District, including a portion of the Town of Cross Roads and the City of Oak Point.
