Effective Friday, June, 30th, 2006 the Town of Little Elm is reducing the Drought Contingency level from Stage 4 to Stage 3.

The new water supply line from North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) has been completed, tested and placed in service. This new line provides the Town a direct point of delivery from the NTMWD system without conveying the water through the Frisco water distribution system. This new line is capable of providing the Town with adequate water supply for the Town’s ultimate build out of homes based on current Corporate Limits and Extra Territorial Jurisdiction.
