The 2012 Water Management Plan has been approved by LCRA and forwarded to the TCEQ for approval. The plan does not go into effect until approved by the State Agency, and this process may take some time. Water District 17 has forwarded a resolution to the TCEQ urging the Commission to approve the plan as soon as possible.

Fluoride Note: WCID 17 fluoridates drinking water to the level recommended by the American Dental Association of 0.7milligrams per liter (parts per million). Because of infants high fluid intake relative to body weight, infants consistently consuming formula mixed with tap water may possibly ingest fluoride above the recommended levels.The Center for Disease Control recommends that infant formula be prepared with distilled or demineralized water. Parents are encouraged to speak with their pediatrician about the type of water appropriate for the formula being fed to their infant. __________________________________________________________________
