As part of a related Interlocal Agreement between Fort Worth and the Benbrook Water Authority (BWA-included in the Joint Ordinance
as Exhibit M), the Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) boundaries of each City will be adjusted to reflect the city limits. In
addition, the BWA will provide up to 2.88 million gallons per day (MGD) of treated water and fire flow and up to 0.6 MGD of sanitary
sewer capacity to a portion of Fort Worth’s service area to the west of Benbrook on an interim basis. If BWA’s lacks capacity, Fort Worth
will provide treated water to Benbrook on a pass-through basis. All costs for extending service (including meters) will be the responsibility
of the developer, and BWA is not obligated for any expense.
Next Steps
Following adoption by the Benbrook City Council, the Fort Worth City Council considered and approved the Joint Ordinance on the
September 23, 2014 agenda. The BWA formally approved their Interlocal Agreement with Fort Worth on October 7, 2014.
Upon adoption of the Joint Ordinance by both cities, some boundaries changed as specified in the Ordinance. In cases where
extraterritorial jurisdiction was transferred to Benbrook, Staff developed an Annexation Plan for consideration by City Council, in
accordance with State law. These annexations are scheduled for 2015.
