The City of Richardson was among a regional group recognized today with the Regional Cooperation Award from the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for work tied to a major regional water agreement involving the North Texas Municipal Water District and its 13 member cities.
Established in 1996, the Regional Cooperation Award recognizes two or more local governments that work together across jurisdictional boundaries to solve shared problems through coordination, partnership and efficient use of resources. The City was recognized for its role in helping advance the regional agreement announced by NTMWD in 2020, when the district and its 13 member cities reached an amended wholesale water services contract. The agreement represented a significant regional effort involving local governments working together on a long-term issue affecting water service, system costs and future planning.
