A Brief History...
Mustang SUD began as Mustang Water Supply Corporation and was incorporated on May 13, 1966. The corporation began with 50 customers and 5 Board members. Meters were read by each customer and new memberships were limited to available capacity in the lines.
By 1980, the system had grown to around 400 customers. Also that year, the largest storage tank, 20,000 gallons, was put in place at Well #2.
In 1992, the Board authorized the purchase of land at FM 455 and Hwy 377 for the construction of the first elevated storage tank. The 300,000 gallon tank was erected in 1995. Also in 1995, the largest line to that date, 10" was placed along Hwy 377 from FM 455 to Krugerville. In 1996, the customer base exceeded 1000 for the first time.
The year 2000 saw many big changes. On May 15, the customers voted to convert the Corporation to a Special Utility District, thus becoming a political subdivision of Texas. The process of conversion took two years and the Corporation was officially dissolved in 2002. The Kruger Water Works was purchased and the District began service to Krugerville. The Board also voted to name the first high-capacity pump station after long-time member Temple Dane.
In July 2001, the Board approved contracts with developers along 380 to share service rights, thus allowing the formation of Fresh Water Supply Districts within Mustang. These Districts are now better known as Providence, Paloma Creek, and Savannah subdivisions.
Rapid growth of Mustang created the need for additional office space. In 2006, Mustang held the groundbreaking for a new office building on FM 2931. The new office was opened later that year.
Mustang now serves over 8,000 customers. The current system consists of ten groundwater wells, 2.8 million gallons per day of surface water capacity, and capacity in three wastewater plants. The latest project was the construction of the 2.25 million gallon Byran Rd. elevated storage tank which went into service in 2009.
