One more step before the vote: TRWD’s tax rate hearing is this week

By September 7, 2026

Budget season is nearly at its final stretch. Over the past two months, TRWD’s Board of Directors has held public budget workshops, reviewed the coming year’s funding needs, and published a proposed tax rate, all steps toward a final vote in September.

This week marks the next milestone: TRWD’s public hearing on the proposed tax rate is this Thursday, September 10th, from 9:30–10:30 AM, at the TRWD Administration Building at 800 E. Northside Drive, Fort Worth, TX 76102, or online: TRWD Special Called Board Meeting – Tarrant Regional Water District

Why this matters

The hearing is your opportunity to speak directly to the Board of Directors before they vote. If you have a question, a concern, or just want to better understand how the rate was set, this is the moment.

How to join

What happens next

If you’ve been meaning to weigh in, Thursday is the day. We hope to see you there, in person or online.
