OVERVIEW
H ISTORY
Colley�ille began as a rural community, situated primarily between Big Bear and Little Bear Creek
in the central portion of northeastern Tarrant County. The first significant settlement of the area
began in the 1850s. Samuel C.H. Witten came to Texas from Missouri in 1854 and established a
farm along Little Bear Creek. He became one of th� founders of the Spring Garder� community,
which flourished in the 1860s around a well-known school, finally declining in the 1870s as Bedford
rose to prominence. Other settlers from thE upper Sauth included lonathan A Riley, who came
from Kentucky in 185G and settled near the 5pring Garden community; the Kentucky-born
ac��enturer and Civil War �eteran Ryan Harrington, who bought land in 1865 near the community
of Pleasant Glade; and William B. Cheek, who migrated to northeast �arrant County from Kentucky
in �869, eventually settling near Ryan Harrington's property.
Other farmers continued ta arrive thraughout the 19th century. William Dunn settled property
between Big Bear Creefc and 8ransford in 1875; the lames R. Forbes family, of Bedford County,
Tennessee, established a farm in 1887; and French native Anthelm 8idault began cultivating his
renowned orchards and vineyards near the Pleasant Rur� community in 1.897. The communities of
Pleasant Glade and Pfeasant Run were haml�ts situated in clearings of the Eastern Cross Timbers.
Churches, schools, and stores served the rural papulation. Pleasant Run Baptist Church, organized
in 1$77, was the first �hurch within what is now Colley�ille.
�fhe St. Louis, Arkansas, & Texas Railway (la#er kr�own as the St. Louis & Southwestern orthe Cotton
Belt Routej extended its tracks between Fort Worth and Grape�ine in the late 1800s, passing
through the hamlet of Red Rock in the Colleyville area in 1885. 7he nearby community of
Bransford, clustered around the general store and post office of Felix G. Bransford, di5appeared
that same year when the store and post office were moved to Red Rock, which was renamed
Bransford. The r�ew Bransford prospered over the next several decades, becoming the largest
community in the Colley�ille area. 1n addition to the post office, the town had two blacksmith
� � _ � __ �� -�_.__ --.____.� _ � _�.�...._.---.�
City of Colley�ille 2024 Page � 5
shops, a livery stable, four general stores, and a lodge hall shared by the Masans, Odd Fellows and
Woodmen of the Warld. Four doctors resided there.
Lil6urn Noward Colley was one of these doctors. A nati�e of Missouri and a veteran of the Union
Army, Dr. Colley and his wife mo�ed to 7exas in 1880, e�entually settling in Bransfiord soon a��er
�he town was founded. In his 40 years of acti�e practice, he became ane of the best-known
physicians in northeast Tarrant County and was wid�ly respected as a leader in tY�e Bransford
area. Calley's nar-ne became associated with a cammunity that formed around a store opened
by W.G. Couch on Glade Road south of Bransford in 1914. The surrounding area gradually
acquired the name "Colleyville." The hamlets of Pfeasant Run and Pleasant Glade had
populations of 75 and S0, respectively, in 1940, and today have all but disappeared. Bransford
declined after Warld War I as the automobile took precedence o�er railroads for passenger
travel. The last stare, owned by lohn R. Webb, closed in 1925. The tawn became known primarily
for a large nursery established by Andy Fefps around 1920. Bransford had a population of 155
in 1940, but today has vanished except far a cluster af houses around the train tracks.
Colleyville was incorparated on January 1a, 1956, a�d its City limits are now contiguo�s with
those of Grapevine and Euless �n the ea�t, Bedford and Hurst on the south, Keller and North
Richland Hills on the west and Southlake on the north. Although once a predominantly rural
community, Colleyville has experienced significant residential de�elopment during the past
decade. From a population of about 1,500 in 1960, it grew ta 5,7�0 in 198� and had an
estimated population of 11,300 E�y 1989. Colleyville Boule�ard (Highway 2fij passes through
its cent�r, and many of its residents commute to �ort Worth.

PER CAPITA WATER i1SE
Per capita water use is generally expr�ssed in gallons per custamer per day (GPCDj and is the
average amount of water used by each person in the population served by a water utility. Variables
that can influence GPC� include the relative amount af nan-residential water uses, the rate and
type of grflwth, econamics, demographics, and especiallythe weather. Residential GPCD is a better
metric for understanding how much water each res�dent is actually using ancf does not include
commercial and industrial uses.
For th� previous fi�e years �20Z9-2023), Total and Residential GPCD for the City are shown below.

PER CAPITA WATER USE G�ALS
The City af Cailey�ille's per capita water conser�ation goals for the next 10 years ar� based upon
the Texas Water Conservation Implementation Task Force's recommendatian of a reduction in per
capita water use by 0.5% per year. The City's GPCD has fluctuated in recent years, likely due to the
�ariability of rainfall. These goals were derived firom the high/low �dry/wet) usage for the previous
five years.

SCHEDULE AN❑ TRACKING
The Public Works Director will act as the Administrator of the water conser�ation program.
The Administrator will oversee the execution and implementation of all elements af the
program. The Administrator is respansible far maintair�ing adequate recards far pragram
verification.
The Administrator wilf monitor the progress of t�e Water Conservatior� Plan, using
information from water utility records and staff. Additionally, the Administrator wil! be
responsible for submission of an annual report to the TWDB on the progress, and any c�anges
to, the Water Canservation Plan.
UNIVERSAL METERING AND RECORDS MANAGEMENT
The City employs metering de�ices on all source water connections capable of ineasuring the
amount of water to within plus or minus 5%. The City requires all retail connectior�s to be meter�d.
All water met�red and billed is recorded using the City'S billing software.
METER TESTING, REPAIR, AND REPLACEMENT
The City's meter testing, repair, and replacement program:
• Master meters are tested and calibrated periodically to within an accuracy of plus
or minus 5%.
• All retail meters are currently repfaced on a twel�e-year cycle, unless failure
necessitates replacement.
• Meters that have abnarmally high or low water usage are changed out as they
are identified based on customer inquiries.

LEAK DETECTION, REPAIR, AND WATER LOSS CONTROL
The Crty of Colleyville operates and maintains the water transmission system within the city. In
order to maintain wat�r delivery ser�ice and to reduce and control unaccounted-for water,
Colfey�ilfe staff routinefy �is�afly inspect the distribution system to identify a�normal conditions
indicating leaks. The staff i$ equipped ta respond and repair equipment and pipeline break5 or
employ contract assistance as required. As a result of these measures, water loss (the difference
between water purci�aSecE and water sofd) has averaged 6% (18.6 GPCD) over the previous five
years. The City`s goals for water loss for the next five (5) and ten (10j years is ta maintain less than
5% (13 GPCDj water loss.
WATER RATE STRUCTURE
Colleyville has a nan-promational, uniform rate structure for water service that is cost based and
discourages the excessi�e use of water. The City of Colleyville is a water customer of the 7rinity
River Authority (TRA), which provides the City with treated water, as weli as wastewater
treatment. As ti�e City purchases water for its custorners, rates charged to the City rise
proportionally for the cost of 7RA's chernicals, debt service to fund federal en�ironmental
mandates, and investment in infrastructure. As witY� ot�er cities w�o purchase water from TRA,
the5e costs ar� passed thra�gh to the customer. Water rates are reviewed twice ar�nually and
revised as needed.
The City has de�eloped on�ine wat�r calculators to assist customers in determining increases in
their bills or to gauge the savings afforded from great�r water conser�ation efforts. After the base
rate charge of $15.62 far 1" and less meters, the rate is calculatecf at $5.60 per 1,d00 gallons.
A calculator is also provided for winter sewer calculations. Colleyville uses the winter months'
average of Dec�mber, January, and February for sewer calculations. Winter sewer usage is used
to set a user's sewer rate for the year, so less use durit�g the winter months can lead ta sa�ings
thraughout the year.

Customers in existing buildings that do not have water saving plumbing fixture5 are encauraged
to retrofit their old plumbir�g fixtures. New construction, ir�cluding remodeling of existing
structures, must comply with City and State plumbing fixture standards. There are a wide
assortr►-ient of water efficient fixtures, clothes and dish washers that provide the same
performance, but use fess water. A water ef#icient home can save more than 20% ofi annual indoar

WATER-CDNSERVING LANDSCAPING
Water-conserving landscaping is a dev�lopt�ent cancept that encaurages residents to adopt low-
water- using landscaping principles and methods for use around the home. The same concepts can
be app�ied to other landscaped areas as well, including parks and other public places.
A popuiar method of reducing water use for landscape irrigation is to encourage residents ta use
the following techniques for landscaping. Generally accepted principles when planning a water
efficient yard are:
(1) Planning and cEesign. buring this step an appropriate plan is de�eloped
cansideringsuch variables as climate, existing vegetation, intended use ofthe
space, anc� to�ographic features.
{2) Soil analysis. Examine the soil types cavering the whole site.
(3} Appropriate plant 5efection. Plants should be selected which are native to
the area or are adaptive to the site.
(4) Practical turf areas. Plan where turf areas should be located and consider
increasing the area of decl�s, porous pa�ing, paths, and mulched planting
beds to reduce turf.
{5) Efficient irrigation. Landscaped areas should only be watered as needed and
then usually during the early morning or late evening to a�oid water loss due
to evaporation, keeping in mind some plant s�ecies may experience mold
anc!/or fungus growth if watered at night.
(6) Use of mulches. A three- to four-inch layer of mulch shauld cover all exposed
soil areas and b� replenished twice a year.
{7) Appropriate maintenance. Keep the yard well maintained to reduce the use
of �ertilizer, chemicals, and water.
