Early Conversion Credits
Regulated entities who exceed the FBSD's groundwater reduction requirements may request over-conversion credits for the amount of alternative water supply that they utilize over and above the amount of reduction required in the FBSD Regulatory Plan. For metered alternative water supply other than treated effluent, over-conversion credits are issued on a gallon for gallon basis.
Reclaimed Water Credits
Reclaimed water is reusing treated effluent from our wastewater treatment plants for beneficial reuse which could be filling amenity lakes or irrigating golf courses. For over-conversion achieved through reclaimed water, FBSD issues a credit of one and a half gallon for every one gallon of water utilized.
Water Conservation Credits
For every student sponsored in the district’s “H2O LAB!” water conservation program, the city receives a water conservation credit of 84,000 gallons. The 84,000-gallon credit is based on a study conducted with the cooperation of the Texas Water Development Board which concluded that the potential savings of the program was 1,400 gallons per household per month.
