Your Drinking Water

Troup's water system is rated "Superior" by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). That rating means the system meets strict state rules, keeps its facilities in good shape, and has gone at least 24 months in a row with no bacteria violations.

Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report)

Each year by July 1, the City mails a water quality report to every water customer. It tells you where your water comes from and what testing found.
