The North Fort Bend Water Authority (NFBWA) is a
regional water authority created by the 79TH Texas
Legislature, with the passage of Senate Bill 1798 in May
2005 . The primary reason for the Authority’s creation
was to facilitate compliance with the Fort Bend
Subsidence District’s groundwater reduction mandates by
creating a viable single
entity to acquire, develop and deliver a long term
supply of potable surface water to the water users in
the Authority’s Groundwater Reduction Plan (GRP).
In addition, the
need for surface
water is heightened
by the conclusion of
a 2002 Water Needs
Analysis (authorized
by the Fort Bend
County Commissioners
Court) that rapid
population growth in
Fort Bend County
combined with the
Subsidence
District’s
groundwater
reduction mandates
will likely cause
water shortages in
the County as early
as 2014.
