Why was the Eagle Mountain Pipeline built and where will the water come from?
The pipeline was built in 2008 to meet the future water supply needs in rapidly growing northwest Tarrant County. The additional water will be pumped into Eagle Mountain Lake from TRWDs two East Texas reservoirs, Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers. The pipeline allows TRWD bring the lake as close to conservation level as possible by June 1 in order to meet high summer demands on its water supply system.
