The Planning and Zoning Commission currently has two (2) vacancies. One vacancy created by Garrett Reed who
was elected a Council Member at the May 10th general election, and the second vacancy created by the
resignation of Mark Sadley. On Thursday, June 5, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Commission interviewed four (4)
applicants. The Planning and Zoning Commission moved to recommend to the Town Council Jon Mills and LuAnne
Oldham to fill the two vacancies. The motion was unanimously approved. Planning and Zoning Commission
Chairman Richard Senelly recommends Jon Mills to fill the position vacated by Mark Sadley (2) to expire in 2014;
and LuAnne Oldham to fill the position vacated by Garrett Reed (6) to expire in 2015.
Motion made by Council Member Mayer, seconded by Council Member Shoffner, to approve Resolution 2014-25
appointing Jon Mills to fill the position vacated by Mark Sadley (2) to expire in 2014; and LuAnne Oldham to fill the
position vacated by Garrett Reed (6) to expire in 2015.

Two, Town of Trophy Club, to remove land owned by Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 from the
boundaries of the zone.
The Trophy Club MUD No. 1 Board indicated at their last meeting that they do not wish to participate in TIRZ No. 2
and requested that the Council remove the MUD property from the TIRZ No. 2 boundary, which would require
Council to amend the ordinance regarding the creation of the TIRZ No. 2 and staff is seeking direction to move
forward with the amendment.
Council discussed possibly extending the TIRZ No. 2 boundary to include other commercial property along Trophy
Club Drive. The majority of Council indicated they would like to include the vacant Methodist Church property and
remove the Trophy Club MUD No. 1 MUD property from the TIRZ No. 2 boundary. Staff will bring back an amended
ordinance at the next Council meeting for Council consideration.

2013 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
This information is provided to you by: Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1
100 Municipal Drive, Trophy Club, Texas 76262, Phone: (682) 831-4600
District Contact: Jennifer McKnight, District Manager
Special Population Advisory
You may be more vulnerable than the general
population to certain microbial contaminants, such as
Cryptosporidium, in drinking water. Infants, some
elderly, or immunocompromised persons such as those
undergoing chemotherapy for cancer; those who have
undergone organ transplants; those who are
undergoing treatment with steroids; and people with
HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders can be
particularly at risk from infections. You should seek
advice about drinking water from your physician or
health care provider. Additional guidelines on
appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by
Cryptosporidium are available from the Safe Drinking
Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Water Sources:
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and
bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds,
reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the
surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves
naturally -occurring minerals, and in some cases,
radioactive material, and can pick up substances
resulting from the presence of animals or from human
activity. Contaminants that may be present in source
water before treatment include:
• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and
bacteria, which may come from sewage
treatment plants, septic systems, and
agricultural livestock operations.
• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and
metals, which can be naturally -occurring or
result from urban storm water runoff, industrial
or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas
production, mining, or farming.
• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come
from a variety of sources such as agriculture
and urban storm water runoff, and residential
uses.
• Organic chemical contaminants, including
synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which
are by-products of industrial processes and
petroleum production, and can also come from
gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and
septic systems.
• Radioactive contaminants, which can be
naturally -occurring or be the result of oil and
gas production and mining activities.
Our Drinking Water Meets or Exceeds All
Federal (EPA) Drinking Water Requirements
This report is a summary of the quality of the water we
provide our customers. The analysis was made by using
the data from the most recent U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) required tests and is presented in
the following pages. We hope this information helps you
become more knowledgeable about what is in your drinking
water. Should you have questions or need additional
copies of this report, please call the District office at (682)
831-4600. The report is also available on our website at
www.tcmud.orcj.
Public Participation Opportunities
Date: 3rd Tuesday of each month
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location: Svore Administration Building
100 Municipal Drive
Trophy Club, TX 76262
Where Do We Get Our Drinking Water?
Our drinking water is obtained from both surface and
groundwater sources. Surface water is purchased from the
City of Fort Worth and its sources are Lake Worth, Eagle
Mountain Lake, Lake Bridgeport, Richland Chambers
Reservoir, Cedar Creek Reservoir, and the Clear Fork
Trinity River (from Lake Benbrook). Groundwater sources
are from four wells including three from the Paluxy Aquifer
and one from the Trinity Aquifer. The Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) completed an
assessment of your drinking water sources and results
indicate that some of your sources are susceptible to
certain contaminants. The sampling requirements for your
water system are based on this susceptibility and previous
sample data. Any detection of these contaminants may be
found in this report. Some of the source water assessment
information is available on Texas Drinking Water Watch
at http://dww.tceg.texas.gov/DWW/. For information
regarding our source water protection efforts please
contact the District office at (682) 831-4600.
All Drinking Water May Contain Contaminants
When drinking water meets federal standards there may not be any health based benefits to purchasing bottled water
or point -of -use devices. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small
amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a
health risk. In order to ensure tap water is safe to drink, the EPA and TCEQ prescribe regulations which limit the
amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for
contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. More information about
contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800)
426-4791.
Water Quality Data
The table in this report lists all the drinking water contaminants we detected during tests conducted from the previous
calendar year, unless otherwise noted. The state requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per
year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year.
Therefore, some of the data, though representative of the water quality, is more than one year old.
Secondary Constituents
Many constituents (such as calcium, sodium or iron) which are often found in drinking water, can cause taste, color
and odor problems. The taste and odor constituents are called secondary constituents and are regulated by the State
of Texas, not the EPA. These constituents are not causes for health concerns. Therefore secondary constituents are
not required to be reported in this document but they may greatly affect the appearance and taste of your water.
About The Following Pages
The pages that follow list all of the federally regulated or monitored contaminants which have been found in your
drinking water. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires water systems to test up to 97
constituents. Please note that not all constituents are required to be sampled every year. Only the most recent year
for sampling of a constituent is included in the report.
Definitions
Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water
system must follow.
Action Level Goal (ALG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.
Al -Gs allow for a margin of safety.
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest permissible level of a contaminant in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to
the MCI -Gs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or
expected health risk. MCI -Gs allow for a margin of safety.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing
evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known
or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contamination.
Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is
primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 is responsible for
providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for
several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or
cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods,
and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

*Nitrate Advisory: Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking
water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring
for an infant you should ask advice from your health care provider.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is
primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 is responsible for
providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for
several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or
cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods,
and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Total Coliform Bacteria are used as indicators of microbial contamination of drinking water because testing for them is easy. While not disease -causing
organisms themselves, they are often found in association with other microbes that are capable of causing disease. Coliform are more hardy than many
disease -causing organisms; therefore, their absence from water is a good indication that the water is microbiologically safe for human consumption.
