9 ONGOING CONSERVATION NEEDED TO STRETCH SUPPLIES Critical strategy for maximizing supplies Has helped defer approx. $1B in projects Award-winning programs Water IQ WaterMyYard.org Water4Otter School Education Program 9

10 NEW PROJECTS NEEDED FOR RELIABILITY AND GROWTH New supplies critical for future of North Texas Bois d Arc Lake Meets Demands Waterdemands will increase 1.5 timesover next 40 years 10

11 KEY PROJECTS Trinity River Main Stem Pump Station & Pipeline Expands reuse supplies by diverting flows from river into wetlands Up to 100 million gallons per day (MGD) 17 miles, 72-inch-diameter pipeline Cost approx. $120 million Completion by early

12 FUTURE CLICK TO EDIT SUPPLIES: MASTER TITLE BOIS STYLE D ARC LAKE Project Stats: Surface Area: 16,641 acres Supply: up to 108 MGD Average/ Max Depth: 22/70 ft Lake Elevation: 534 ft mean sea level Owner & operator: NTMWD Cost Estimate: ~$1.6B SWIFT low interest bonds will save over $230M in interest Permitting Required: Water Rights received June 2015 USACE Section 404 received Feb 2018 Construction in progress Water delivery in 2022 First major reservoir to be constructed in Texas in nearly 30 years 12

13 FUTURE CLICK TO EDIT SUPPLIES: MASTER TITLE BOIS STYLE D ARC LAKE PROJECT COMPONENTS: 1. Dam + intake for reservoir mile underground pipeline 3. Water treatment plant (70 MGD) 4. Rerouting highway/bridge over lake 5. Required mitigation area (17,000+ acres) PARTNERING WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES Working closely with Fannin County Will serve local water needs Zoning plans to guide development around lake: protect water quality Treating property owners fairly 85% purchased to day (all willing sellers) 13
