RISKFACTORS
General
TheBondsareobligationsoftheDistrictandarenotobligationsoftheStateofTexas,DentonCounty,Texas,
theTownofLittleElm,Texas(the“Town”),oranypoliticalsubdivisionotherthantheDistrict.TheBondsare
securedbyanannualadvaloremtax,withoutlegallimitationastorateoramount,onalltaxableproperty
locatedwithintheDistrict.See“THEBONDS–SourcesofPayment.”Theultimatesecurityforpaymentofthe
principal ofand intereston the Bondsdepends upon the ability ofthe District tocollectfrom the property
ownerswithintheDistricttaxesleviedagainstalltaxablepropertylocatedwithintheDistrictor,intheevent
taxes are not collected and foreclosure proceedings are instituted by the District, upon the value of the
taxable property with respect to taxes levied by the District and by other taxing authorities. The District
makesnorepresentationthatoverthelifeoftheBondsthepropertywithintheDistrictwillmaintainavalue
sufficient to justify continued payment of taxes by the property owners. The potential increase in taxable
valuationofDistrictpropertyisdirectlyrelatedtotheeconomicsoftheresidentialhousingindustry,notonly
duetogeneraleconomicconditions,butalsoduetotheparticularfactorsdiscussedbelow.
EconomicFactorsAffectingTaxableValuesandTaxPayment
TherateofdevelopmentwithintheDistrictisdirectlyrelatedtothevitalityofthesingle‐familyhousinginthe
Dallas and Denton metropolitan areas. New single‐family residential construction can be significantly
affected by factors such as interest rates, construction costs, and consumer demand. Decreased levels of
single‐familyresidentialconstructionwouldrestrictthegrowthofpropertyvaluesintheDistrict.Although
theconstructionof38single‐familyhomesareunderway,theDistrictcannotpredictthepaceormagnitude
ofanyfuturedevelopmentorhomebuildingintheDistrict.See“THEDISTRICT–StatusofDevelopment.”
DependenceonMajorTaxpayersandtheDevelopers:Thetenprincipaltaxpayersrepresent$10,425,064
or 23.03% of the 2016 Certified Taxable Assessed Valuation, which represents ownership as of January 1,
2016.Iftheseprincipaltaxpayersweretodefaultinthepaymentoftaxesinanamountwhichexceedsthe
District’sdebtservicefundsurplus,theabilityoftheDistricttomaketimelypaymentofdebtserviceonthe
Bonds would be dependent on its ability to enforce and liquidate its tax lien, which is a time‐consuming
process,ortoselltaxanticipationnotes.Failuretorecoverorborrowfundsinatimelyfashioncouldresultin
anexcessiveDistricttaxrate,hinderinggrowthandleadingtofurtherdefaultsinthepaymentoftaxes.The
10
District is not required by law or the Bond Order to maintain any specified amount of surplus in its debt
service fund. See “Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies” in this section, “TAX DATA – Principal
Taxpayers,”and“TAXINGPROCEDURES–LevyandCollectionofTaxes.”
NoHomebuilderObligationtotheDistrict:Thereisnocommitmentbyorlegalrequirementofanyhome
buildertoproceedatanyparticularpacewiththeconstructionofhomesintheDistrict.Moreover,thereisno
restrictiononanylandowner’srighttosellitsland.Therefore,theDistrictcanmakenorepresentationabout
the rate of future home construction activity in the District. Failure to construct taxable improvements on
developedlotswouldrestricttherateofgrowthoftaxablevaluesintheDistrictandresultinhighertaxrates.
See “THE DISTRICT – Status of Development,” “THE DEVELOPERS,” and “HOMEBUILDERS ACTIVE WITHIN
THEDISTRICT.”
Competition:ThedemandforandconstructionoftaxableimprovementsintheDistrictcouldbeaffectedby
competition from other developments near the District. In addition to competition for new single‐family
home sales from other developments, there are numerous previously‐owned single‐family homes in more
established commercial centers and neighborhoods closer to Dallas that are for sale. Such existing
developments could represent additional competition for new development proposed to be constructed
withintheDistrict.ThecompetitivepositionoftheDevelopersortheprincipallandownersinthesaleofland,
and the sale or leasing of residences is affected by most of the factors discussed in this section. Such a
competitivepositionisdirectlyrelatedtothegrowthandmaintenanceoftaxablevaluesintheDistrictandtax
revenues to be received by the District. The District can give no assurance that building and marketing
programsintheDistrictbytheDevelopersand/orhomebuilderswillbeimplementedor,ifimplemented,will
besuccessful.
Maximum Impact on District Tax Rate: Assuming no further development, the value of the land and
improvements currently within the District will be the major determinant of the ability or willingness of
property owners to pay their taxes. The 2016 Certified Taxable Assessed Valuation of property within the
District(see“TAXDATA”)is$45,270,766,the2017PreliminaryValuationofpropertywithintheDistrictis
$91,765,272andtheEstimatedValuationasofApril12,2017ofpropertywithintheDistrictis$100,000,000.
See “SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION.” After issuance of the Bonds, the estimated maximum annual
debt service requirement for the Bonds will be $454,281 (2037) and the estimated average annual debt

TaxCollectionsandForeclosureRemedies
TheDistrict'sabilitytomakedebtservicepaymentsmaybeadverselyaffectedbydifficultiesincollectingad

Districtonaparitywiththeliensofallothertaxingauthoritiesonthepropertyagainstwhichtaxesarelevied,
andsuchlienmaybeenforcedbyjudicialforeclosure.
The District's ability to collect ad valorem taxes through such foreclosure may be impaired by (a)
cumbersome, time consuming and expensive collection procedures; (b) a bankruptcy court's stay of tax
collection proceedings against a taxpayer; or (c) market conditions affecting the marketability of taxable
propertywithintheDistrictandlimitingtheproceedsfromaforeclosuresaleofsuchproperty.See“TAXING

BankruptcyLimitationtoRegisteredOwners'Rights
The enforceability of the rights and remedies of Registered Owners may be limited by laws relating to
bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of
political subdivisions such as the District. Texas law requires a district, such as the District, to obtain the
approvaloftheTCEQasaconditiontoseekingreliefundertheFederalBankruptcyCode.
NotwithstandingnoncompliancebyadistrictwithTexaslawrequirements,theDistrictcouldfileavoluntary
bankruptcy petition under Chapter 9, thereby invoking the protection of the automatic stay until the

registered Bond certificate will be issued for each of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of

Under certain circumstances, taxpayers and taxing units, including the District, may appeal orders of the
AppraisalReviewBoardbyfilingapetitionforreviewindistrictcourtwithinforty‐five(45)daysafternotice
is received that a final order has been entered. In such event, the property value in question may be

The Property Tax Code establishes a procedure for notice to property owners of reappraisals reflecting
increased property values, appraisals that are higher than renditions and appraisals of property not

NoticeandHearingProcedures
The Property Tax Code establishes procedures for providing notice and the opportunity for a hearing for
taxpayers in the event of certain proposed tax increases and provides fortaxpayers referenda which could
result in the repeal of certain tax increases. The District is required to publish a notice of a public hearing
regardingthetaxrateproposedtobeleviedinthecurrentyearandcomparingtheproposedtaxratetothe

UpperTrinityRegionalWaterDistrictContracts
Upper Trinity Regional Water District(“Upper Trinity”) wascreatedby the State of Texasto constructand
operate regional water and wastewater systems in Denton County and surrounding areas. Denton County
Fresh Water Supply District No. 11 (“District No. 11”) entered into the Contracts (as defined in “RISK
FACTORS—UpperTrinityRegionalWaterDistrictObligations”),pursuanttowhichUpperTrinitypledgesto
delivercertainwatersupplyandwastewaterservicesasrequiredtoservetheneedsofthepropertyowners
within the District, District 11‐A and District 11‐B. Pursuant to an Order Declaring Results and Canvassing
ElectiontoDivideDentonCountyFreshWaterSupplyDistrictNo.11intoTwoNewDistricts,datedMay6,
2003, the rights and obligations of District 11 under the Contracts were retained by District 11‐A. Further
pursuanttotheContracts,District11‐Ahascontractedfor3,000,000gpdpeakflowoftreatedwatersupply
and 716,000 gpd of wastewatertreatment capacity forthe benefit of the District, District 11‐A and District
11‐B. The allocation to District 11‐A of 716,000 gpd of wastewater treatment capacity is based on its
subscriptionof262,000gpdofcapacityinanexpansionofUpperTrinity’sRiverbendWastewaterTreatment
Plant (the “Riverbend Plant”), which expansion is currently expected to be completed by mid‐2019. This
subscriptionincreases(bysuch262,000gpd)District11‐A’spreviousallocationof454,000gpdofRiverbend

The Upper Trinity water and wastewater system is financed by the Upper Trinity through the issuance of
bonds payable from and secured by payments made under the Contracts and other similar contracts with
other members and customers of Upper Trinity. Denton 380, on behalf of the District, District 11‐A and
District 11‐B, has advanced funds for construction of certain Upper Trinity facilities that will serve the
districts.SuchfundsattributabletotheconstructionoffacilitiesservingtheDistrict,District11‐AandDistrict

DescriptionoftheSystem
‐WaterSupply‐
As described above under “Upper Trinity Regional Water District Contracts,” the District’s water supply is
obtained from Upper Trinity. Pursuanttothe Joint Utility Contract, the Districthas the contractual right to
501,000 gpd of treated water, which is sufficient to serve at least 579 single‐family residential homes. See
“Modification of Capacity Allocations” below. For treated water, the District is required to pay its pro‐rata
share of a current annual Demand Charge (as defined in the Contracts) of $411,500 per million gpd
subscribedcapacityandacurrentmonthlyVolumeCharge(asdefinedintheContracts)of$1.19per1,000
gallons used. As of April 12, 2017, the District was serving approximately 438 active residential water
connections(including38homesunderconstruction).
‐WastewaterTreatment‐
The District’s wastewater is treated by the Riverbend Plant owned and operated by Upper Trinity, which
currently has 2,000,000 gallons per day (“gpd”) of treatment capacity constructed and operational. See
“Upper Trinity Regional Water District Contracts” above. Pursuant to the Joint Utility Contract, the District
currently has the right to 59,200 gpd of wastewater treatment capacity, which is sufficient to serve 320
single‐family connections based on the wastewater “flow factor” presented in the District’s application to
TCEQ for approval of issuance of the Bonds, which application was approved pursuant to the TCEQ Order.
Upon completion of construction of the expansion of the Riverbend Plant discussed above under “Upper
Trinity Regional Water District Contracts,” the District’s wastewater treatment capacity allocation will
increase to 110,100 gpd, which would be sufficient to serve 595 single‐family connections using the flow
factor discussed above. See “Modification of Capacity Allocations” below. For wastewater treatment, the
Districtisrequiredtopayitspro‐ratashareof acurrentannualFixedOperationsandMaintenanceChargeof
$490,000,anannualJointFacilitiesCapitalChargeof$57,225,andacurrentmonthlyVolumeChargeof$1.34
per1,000gallonstreated.CollectionofwastewaterbyUpperTrinityisaccomplishedbyundergroundpiping.
AsofApril12,2017,theDistrictwasservingapproximately438activeresidentialwastewaterconnections

AlthoughcurrentlytheRiverbendPlantexpansionisexpectedtobecompletedbymid‐2019,theDistrictcan
makenoassuranceswithrespecttotheultimatedateofcompletionandresultingincreaseincontractually
allocatedtreatmentcapacityundertheJointUtilityContract,asdescribedabove.
Upper Trinity has indicated to District 11‐A that as a subscribing participant in the Riverbend Plant
expansion,unusedcapacityintheRiverbendPlantwouldbeavailabletoDistrict11‐A(andconsequentlyalso

‐ModificationofCapacityAllocations‐
As noted above, the District’s contractual allocations of water supply capacity and wastewater treatment
capacity(uponcompletionoftheRiverbendPlantexpansiondiscussedabove)underthecurrentJointUtility

Opinion
On the date of initial delivery ofthe Bonds, McCall, Parkhurst &HortonL.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Bond Counsel,
will render its opinion that, in accordance with statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions
existingonthedatethereof(“ExistingLaw”),(1)interestontheBondsforfederalincometaxpurposeswillbe
excludablefromthe“grossincome”oftheholdersthereofand(2)theBondswillnotbetreatedas“specified

Counsel will express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of the purchase,
ownershipordispositionoftheBonds.
In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon (a) certain information and representations of the
District,includinginformationandrepresentationscontainedintheDistrict'sfederaltaxcertificateand(b)
covenantsoftheDistrictcontainedintheBonddocumentsrelatingtocertainmatters,includingarbitrageand
the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the property financed or refinanced therewith. Failure by the
DistricttoobservetheaforementionedrepresentationsorcovenantscouldcausetheinterestontheBondsto
becometaxableretroactivelytothedateofissuance.
The Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder contain a number of requirements that must be
satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order for interest on the Bonds to be, and to remain,
excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements
maycauseinterestontheBondstobeincludedingrossincomeretroactivelytothedateofissuanceofthe
Bonds.TheopinionofBondCounselisconditionedoncompliancebytheDistrictwithsuchrequirements,and
Bond Counsel has not been retained to monitor compliance with these requirements subsequent to the
issuanceoftheBonds.
BondCounsel’sopinionrepresentsitslegaljudgmentbaseduponitsreviewofExistingLawandthereliance
on the aforementioned information, representations and covenants. Bond Counsel’s opinion is not a
guarantee of a result. Existing Law is subject to change by Congress and to subsequent judicial and
administrativeinterpretationbythecourtsandtheDepartmentoftheTreasury.Therecanbenoassurance

Under section 6012 of the Code, holders of tax‐exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, may be required to

InformationReportingandBackupWithholding
Subject to certain exceptions, information reports describing interest income, including original issue discount, with
respect to the Bonds will be sent to each registered holder and to the IRS. Payments of interest and principal may be
subject to backup withholding under section 3406 of the Code if a recipient of the payments fails to furnish to the
payor such owner’s social security number or other taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), furnishes an incorrect
TIN, or otherwise fails to establish an exemption from the backup withholding tax. Any amounts so withheld would
be allowed as a credit against the recipient’s federal income tax. Special rules apply to partnerships, estates and
trusts, and in certain circumstances, and in respect of Non-U.S. Holders, certifications as to foreign status and other
matters may be required to be provided by partners and beneficiaries thereof.
QualifiedTax‐ExemptObligationsforFinancialInstitutions
Section265(a)oftheCodeprovides,inpertinentpart,thatinterestpaidorincurredbyataxpayer,includinga
“financialinstitution,”onindebtednessincurredorcontinuedtopurchaseorcarrytax‐exemptobligationsis
not deductible in determining the taxpayer's taxable income. Section 265(b) of the Code provides an
exceptiontothedisallowanceofsuchdeductionforanyinterestexpensepaidorincurredonindebtednessof
a taxpayer that is a “financial institution” allocable to tax‐exempt obligations, other than “private activity
bonds,” that are designated by a “qualified small issuer” as “qualified tax‐exempt obligations.” A “qualified
small issuer” is any governmental issuer (together with any “on‐behalf of” and “subordinate” issuers) who
issuesnomorethan$10,000,000oftax‐exemptobligationsduringthecalendaryear.Section265(b)(5)ofthe
Codedefinestheterm“financialinstitution”asany“bank”describedinSection585(a)(2)oftheCode,orany
personacceptingdepositsfromthepublicintheordinarycourseofsuchperson'stradeorbusinessthatis
subject to federal or state supervision as a financial institution. Notwithstanding the exception to the
disallowance of the deduction of interest on indebtedness related to “qualified tax‐exempt obligations”
providedbySection265(b)oftheCode,Section291oftheCodeprovidesthattheallowabledeductiontoa
“bank,” as defined in Section 585(a)(2) of the Code, for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to
purchase “qualified tax‐exempt obligations” shall be reduced by twenty‐percent (20%) as a “financial
institutionpreferenceitem.”
The District has designated the Bonds as “qualified tax‐exempt obligations” within the meaning of section
265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of that designation, the District has covenanted to take such action that
would assure, or to refrain from such action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as
“qualified tax‐exempt obligations.” Potential purchasers should be aware that if the issue price to the
publicexceeds$10,000,000,thereisareasonablebasistoconcludethatthepaymentofademinimis

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Board of Directors
Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 11-C
Denton County, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major
fund of Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 11-C (the “District”), as of and for the year
ended February 29, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise
the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the District as of
February 29, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that Management’s
Discussion and Analysis and the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance –
Budget and Actual – General Fund be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the
basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the District’s basic financial statements. The supplementary information required by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality as published in the Water District Financial Management Guide
is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The
supplementary information, excluding that portion marked “Unaudited” on which we express no opinion
or provide any assurance, has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

DENTON COUNTY FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICT NO. 11-C
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2016
Management’s discussion and analysis of Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 11-C’s
(the “District”) financial performance provides an overview of the District’s financial activities
for the year ended February 29, 2016. Please read it in conjunction with the District’s financial
statements.
USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The basic financial statements
include: (1) combined fund financial statements and government-wide financial statements and
(2) notes to the financial statements. The combined fund financial statements and governmentwide financial statements combine both: (1) the Statement of Net Position and Governmental
Funds Balance Sheet and (2) the Statement of Activities and Governmental Funds Revenues,
Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. This report also includes other supplementary
information in addition to the basic financial statements.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The District’s annual report includes two financial statements combining the government-wide
financial statements and the fund financial statements. The government-wide portion of these
statements provides both long-term and short-term information about the District’s overall status.
Financial reporting at this level uses a perspective similar to that found in the private sector with
its basis in full accrual accounting and elimination or reclassification of internal activities.
The first of the government-wide statements is the Statement of Net Position. This information
is found in the Statement of Net Position column. The Statement of Net Position is the Districtwide statement of its financial position presenting information that includes all of the District’s
assets and liabilities, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the
District as a whole is improving or deteriorating. Evaluation of the overall health of the District
would extend to other non-financial factors.
The government-wide portion of the Statement of Activities reports how the District’s net
position changed during the current year. All current year revenues and expenses are included
regardless of when cash is received or paid.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The combined statements also include fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related
accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific
activities or objectives. The District has three governmental fund types. The General Fund
accounts for resources not accounted for in another fund, customer service revenues, operating
costs and general expenditures. The Debt Service Fund accounts for ad valorem taxes and
financial resources restricted, committed or assigned for servicing bond debt and the cost of
assessing and collecting taxes. The Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources
restricted, committed or assigned for acquisition or construction of facilities and related costs.

DENTON COUNTY FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICT NO. 11-C
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2016
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Governmental funds are reported in each of the financial statements. The focus in the fund
statements provides a distinctive view of the District’s governmental funds. These statements
report short-term fiscal accountability focusing on the use of spendable resources and balances of
spendable resources available at the end of the year. They are useful in evaluating annual
financing requirements of the District and the commitment of spendable resources for the nearterm.
Since the government-wide focus includes the long-term view, comparisons between these two
perspectives may provide insight into the long-term impact of short-term financing decisions.
The adjustments columns, the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the
Statement of Net Position and the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances to the Statement of Activities explain the
differences between the two presentations and assist in understanding the differences between
these two perspectives.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying notes to the financial statements provide information essential to a full
understanding of the government-wide and fund financial statements.
OTHER INFORMATION
In addition to the financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
required supplementary information (“RSI”). A budgetary comparison schedule is included as
RSI for the General Fund.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the District’s financial position. In the
case of the District, liabilities exceeded assets by $1,508,211 as of February 29, 2016. The
following is a comparative analysis of government-wide changes in the Statement of Net
Position as of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2016
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT’S GOVERNMENTAL FUND
The District’s combined fund balances as of February 29, 2016, were $506,909, an increase of
$463,063 from the prior year.
The General Fund fund balance increased by $146,593, primarily due to tax and service revenues
exceeding operating and administrative costs in addition to developer advances received during
the year.
The Debt Service Fund fund balance increased by $213,564, primarily due to proceeds received
from the sale of Series 2015 Road Bonds.
The Capital Projects Fund fund balance increased by $102,906, primarily due to the sale of
Series 2015 Road Bonds, a portion which was on hand at year-end.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The Board of Directors amended the budget during the current fiscal year primarily to increase
the budgeted amount for property tax revenue. Actual revenues were more than budgeted
revenues by $61,626 primarily due to higher than anticipated service revenues. Actual
expenditures exceeded budgeted expenditures by $45,407. See the budget to actual comparison.
CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets as of February 29, 2016, total $5,325,240 (net of accumulated depreciation) and

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEET
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
FEBRUARY 29, 2016
Total Fund Balances - Governmental Funds
$
506,909
Amounts Reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position are
different because:
Capital assets are not current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as
assets in governmental funds.
5,325,240
Governmental funds do not record a long-term liability to the Developer for
completed projects and operating advances. However, in the Statement of Net
Position, the liability for completed projects and operating advances is recorded.
(4,413,203)
Deferred tax revenues for the 2015 and prior tax levies are part of recognized revenue
in the governmental activities of the District.
7,923
Accrued interest on long-term liabilities is not payable with current financial
resources and, therefore, is not reported in the funds.
(29,513)
Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are
not reported as liabilities in the funds. Long-term liabilities at year-end consist of
bonds payable.

NOTE 1.
CREATION OF DISTRICT
On December 12, 2000, the Denton County Commissioners Court approved the order creating
Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 11 of Denton County, Texas (“District No. 11”).
At an election held on January 20, 2001, voters confirmed the creation of District No. 11. On
February 20, 2001, following a hearing, the governing board of District No. 11 approved the
conversion of District No. 11 to a Water Control and Improvement District operating under
Chapter 51 of the Texas Water Code and specifically reserved certain rights under Sections
53.029, 53.030 through 53.034, 53.040 through 53.041, 53.112, 53.121, and 53.125 of the Texas
Water Code.
At an election held within the boundaries of District No. 11 on May 3, 2003, voters approved the
division of District No. 11 into two new districts, of which Denton County Fresh Water Supply
District No. 11-B (“Original District 11-B”) was one. At an election held within the boundaries
of Original District 11-B on November 8, 2005, voters approved the division of Original District
11-B into two districts consisting of Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 11-B
(“District 11-B”) and Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 11-C (the “District”). The
District held its first meeting on November 21, 2005. Pursuant to the provisions of Chapters 49,
51 and 53 of the Texas Water Code, the District is empowered to purchase, operate and maintain
all facilities, plants and improvements necessary to provide water, sanitary sewer service, storm
sewer drainage, irrigation, roads, solid waste collection and disposal, including recycling, and to
construct parks and recreational facilities for the residents of the District. The District is also
empowered to contract for or employ its own peace officers.
NOTE 2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America as promulgated by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”). In addition, the accounting records of
the District are maintained generally in accordance with the Water District Financial
Management Guide published by the Commission.
The District is a political subdivision of the State of Texas governed by an elected board. GASB
has established the criteria for determining whether or not an entity is a primary government or a
component unit of a primary government. The primary criteria are that it has a separately elected
governing body, it is legally separate, and it is fiscally independent of other state and local
governments. Under these criteria, the District is considered a primary government and is not a
component unit of any other government. Additionally, no other entities meet the criteria for
inclusion in the District’s financial statement as component units.

Financial Statement Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GASB Codification of
Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards Part II, Financial Reporting.
GASB Codification sets forth standards for external financial reporting for all state and local
government entities, which include a requirement for a Statement of Net Position and a
Statement of Activities. It requires the classification of net position into three components: Net
Investment in Capital Assets; Restricted; and Unrestricted. These classifications are defined as
follows:

Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital
assets, including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by
the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are
attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvements of those assets.

Restricted Net Position – This component of net position consists of external constraints
placed on the use of assets imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants),
grantors, contributors, or laws or regulation of other governments or constraints imposed
by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Unrestricted Net Position – This component of net position consists of assets that do not
meet the definition of Restricted or Net Investment in Capital Assets.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, generally it is the District’s
policy to use restricted resources first.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the
District as a whole. The District’s Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities are
combined with the governmental fund financial statements. The District is viewed as a specialpurpose government and has the option of combining these financial statements.
The Statement of Net Position is reported by adjusting the governmental fund types to report on
the full accrual basis, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets and
receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. Any amounts recorded due to and due
from other funds are eliminated in the Statement of Net Position.

NOTE 2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Government-Wide Financial Statements (Continued)
The Statement of Activities is reported by adjusting the governmental fund types to report only
items related to current year revenues and expenditures. Items such as capital outlay are
allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. Internal activities between
governmental funds, if any, are eliminated by adjustment to obtain net total revenue and expense
of the government-wide Statement of Activities.
Fund Financial Statements
As discussed above, the District’s fund financial statements are combined with the governmentwide statements. The fund statements include a Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances.
Governmental Funds
The District has three governmental funds and considers each to be a major fund.
General Fund - To account for resources not required to be accounted for in another fund,
customer service revenues, operating costs and general expenditures.
Debt Service Fund – To account for ad valorem taxes and financial resources restricted,
committed or assigned for servicing bond debt and the cost f assessing and collecting taxes.
Capital Projects Fund – To account for financial resources restricted, committed or assigned for
acquisition or construction of facilities and related costs.
Basis of Accounting
The District uses the modified accrual basis of accounting for governmental fund types. The
modified accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues when both “measurable and available.”
Measurable means the amount can be determined. Available means collectable within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. The District considers revenue
reported in governmental funds to be available if they are collectable within 60 days after year
end. Also, under the modified accrual basis of accounting, expenditures are recorded when the
related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt, which are
recognized as expenditures when payment is due.
Property taxes considered available by the District and included in revenue include taxes
collected during the period and taxes collected after year-end, which were considered available
to defray the expenditures of the current year. Deferred tax revenues are those taxes which the
District does not reasonably expect to be collected soon enough in the subsequent period to
finance current expenditures.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Basis of Accounting (Continued)
Amounts transferred from one fund to another fund are reported as other financing sources or
uses. Loans by one fund to another fund and amounts paid by one fund for another fund are
reported as interfund receivables and payables in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet if there
is intent to repay the amount and if the debtor fund has the ability to repay the advance on a
timely basis.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets, are reported in
the government-wide Statement of Net Position. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or
estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at
their fair market value on the date donated. Repairs and maintenance are recorded as
expenditures in the governmental fund incurred and as an expense in the government-wide
Statement of Activities. Capital asset additions, improvements and preservation costs that extend
the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Interest costs, including developer interest, engineering fees and certain other costs are
capitalized as part of the asset.
Assets are capitalized, including infrastructure assets, if they have an original cost greater than
$5,000 and a useful life over two years. Depreciation is calculated on each class of depreciable
property using the straight-line method of depreciation. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Years
Buildings
Water System
Wastewater System
Drainage System
All Other Equipment
40
10-45
10-45
10-45
3-20
Budgeting
In compliance with governmental accounting principles, the Board of Directors annually adopts
an unappropriated budget for the General Fund. The budget was amended during the current
year.
Pensions
The District has not established a pension plan as the District does not have employees. The
Internal Revenue Service has determined that fees of office received by Directors are considered
to be wages subject to federal income tax withholding for payroll purposes only.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Measurement Focus
Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recognized within the
various financial statements. In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement
of Activities, the governmental activities are presented using the economic resources
measurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination
of operating income, changes in net position, financial position, and cash flows. All assets and
liabilities associated with the activities are reported. Fund equity is classified as net position.
Governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or financial flow measurement focus.
Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheet, and the
reported fund balances provide an indication of available spendable or appropriable resources.
Operating statements of governmental fund types report increases and decreases in available
spendable resources. Fund balances in governmental funds are classified using the following
hierarchy:
Nonspendable: amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in nonspendable form or
because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The District does not
have any nonspendable fund balances.
Restricted: amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional
provisions, or enabling legislation, or because of constraints that are imposed externally.
Committed: amounts that can be spent only for purposes determined by a formal action of the
Board of Directors. The Board is the highest level of decision-making authority for the District.
This action must be made no later than the end of the fiscal year. Commitments may be
established, modified, or rescinded only through ordinances or resolutions approved by the
Board. The District does not have any committed fund balances.
Assigned: amounts that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed, but
that are intended to be used for specific purposes. The District has not adopted a formal policy
regarding the assignment of fund balances and does not have any assigned fund balances.
Unassigned: all other spendable amounts in the General Fund.
When expenditures are incurred for which restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned fund
balances are available, the District considers amounts to have been spent first out of restricted
funds, then committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds.

Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
Deposits
Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial
institution, a government will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The District’s deposit policy
for custodial credit risk requires compliance with the provisions of Texas statutes.
Texas statutes require that any cash balance in any fund shall, to the extent not insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or its successor, be continuously secured by a valid
pledge to the District of securities eligible under the laws of Texas to secure the funds of the
District, having an aggregate market value, including accrued interest, at all times equal to the
uninsured cash balance in the fund to which such securities are pledged. At fiscal year end, the
carrying amount of the District’s deposits was $664,891 and the bank balance was $665,751.

improvements, facilities, plants, equipment and appliances, and for the payment of proper
services, engineering fees, legal fees, and organization and administrative costs in accordance
with Section 49.107 of the Texas Water Code. During the year ended February 29, 2016, the
District levied an ad valorem maintenance tax rate of $1.00 per $100 of assessed valuation,
which resulted in a tax levy of $253,574 on the adjusted taxable valuation of $25,356,942 for the

WATER SUPPLY AGREEMENT
Upper Trinity Regional Water District Regional Treated Water System Participating
Customer Contract
On August 29, 2001, Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 11-A (District 11-A)
executed an agreement with the Upper Trinity Regional Water District (the “UTRWD”) to
provide treated water to the District as a Participating Customer of the UTRWD. The First
Amendment to Participating Customer Contract was executed on September 6, 2001. The
Second Amendment to Participating Customer Contract was executed on February 24, 2004.
The UTRWD has agreed to use its best efforts to build the facilities called for in this agreement
and to issue debt to fund the cost of the facilities. The UTRWD is governed by a Board of
directors that are appointed by the governing bodies of members and by the County. District 11A, as a Participating Customer, is not entitled to appoint a representative to the Board; however,
District 11-A will be represented by a Board member serving Denton County at-large.
Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the supply of water on a minimum demand increased from
1.00 to 1.50 million gallons of water per day (MGD) through an interim period. In accordance
with the agreement, the interim period quantity applied until the Tom Harpool Regional Treated
Water Plant and the associated pipelines and pumping facilities (collectively, the “Harpool
Plant”) were constructed and operational. The Harpool Plant now has been completed and is in
operation; accordingly, the interim period has terminated and District 11-A’s supply of water on
a minimum demand is 3.00 MGD. District 11-A is required to take or pay for the minimum
amount of water to assure adequate funds to the UTRWD to fulfill its obligations under the
contract. District 11-A may adjust the regular service amount upon mutual agreement with the
UTRWD. A determination of demand on an annual basis that takes into account actual usage for
the most recent five water years and projected needs for the next water year will be made. The
water supply capacity allocated to District 11-A by UTRWD and associated costs are further
allocated pursuant to a Joint Utility Contract (See Note 11).
Payments to UTRWD are comprised of three components including an Operation and
Maintenance Component, a Capital Component and a special reserve for operation and
maintenance cost of the system. Annual budgets will be prepared for the system. District 11-A
pays its part of the annual requirement in monthly installments.

SEWAGE TREATMENT SERVICE AGREEMENT
Upper Trinity Regional Water District Northeast Regional Water Reclamation System
Participating Customer Contract
On August 29, 2001, Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 11-A (District 11-A)
executed an agreement (the “UTRWD Wastewater Agreement”) with the Upper Trinity Regional
Water District (the “UTRWD”) to provide wastewater treatment service to District 11-A as a
Participating Customer of the UTRWD. The UTRWD has agreed to use its best efforts to build
the facilities called for in this agreement and to issue debt, if necessary, to fund the cost of the
facilities. During a prior fiscal year, the District and District 11-A’s Developer advanced monies
on behalf of the Districts to the UTRWD for the District’s share of the construction cost of the
Riverbend Wastewater Treatment Plant. The UTRWD is governed by a Board of directors that
are appointed by the governing bodies of members and by the County. District 11-A, as a
Participating Customer, is not entitled to appoint a representative to the Board; however, District
11-A will be represented by a Board member serving Denton County at-large.
Pursuant to an amendment to the UTRWD Wastewater Agreement, dated November 18, 2015,
District 11-A has capacity of 0.716 MGD in the Riverbend plant. This capacity, which is an
increase of 0.262 MGD over the previous allocation of 0.454 MGD, is based on the construction
of a currently planned expansion (the “2018 Riverbend Expansion”) to UTRWD’s Riverbend
wastewater treatment facility, which expansion is expected to be complete in 2018. UTRWD has
indicated that District 11-A would have use of surplus capacity, if necessary and as available,
above the 0.454 MGD during the period prior to completion of the 2018 Riverbend Expansion.
District 11-A is required to pay based on this 0.454 MGD minimum flow basis of wastewater,
whether or not District 11-A actually delivers this amount of wastewater to the UTRWD, to
assure adequate funds to the UTRWD to fulfill its obligations under the contract. District 11-A
will be required to pay its share of the capital costs associated with the 2018 Riverbend
Expansion, and District 11-A will begin payment based on the 0.716 MGD minimum flow basis
(as opposed to the 0.454 MGD basis currently applied) at such time as the 2018 Riverbend
Expansion is complete and the additional 0.262 MGD capacity is physically available.

Payments will be comprised of three components including an Operation and Maintenance
Component, a Capital Component and a special reserve for operation and maintenance cost of
the system. Annual budgets will be prepared for the system. District 11-A will pay its part of
the annual requirement in monthly installments. The wastewater treatment capacity allocated to
District 11-A by UTRWD under the UTRWD Wastewater Agreement and associated costs are
further allocated pursuant to a Joint Utility Contract (See Note 11). The term of the contract is
25 years or as long as the bonds issued remain outstanding. The Contract further has a 20-year
extension provision.
NOTE 11.
JOINT UTILITY CONTRACT
On February 24, 2004, District 11-A and District No. 11-B entered into a Joint Utility Contract.
District 11-A has entered into the UTRWD contracts, see Notes 9 and 10, on behalf of itself,
District 11-B and the District and any additional contract service areas that may request utility
services. On January 20, 2005, District 11-A and District 11-B executed an Amended and
Restated Joint Utility Contract, which was amended effective June 22, 2006.
This agreement establishes the pro rata allocation of the water and wastewater service capacity
and costs to be incurred under the UTRWD contracts. The share of the fixed costs shall be paid
based upon the reserved capacity each district holds in comparison to the total capacity reserved
for all districts. Variable costs will be paid in proportion to actual usage each month based upon
the individual meters within the districts. In relation to the UTRWD contracts, the UTRWD will
look solely to District No. 11-A to fulfill the obligations of the contracts.
On September 28, 2006, the District and District 11-A entered into a Joint Utility Contract.
Effective March 1, 2011, the District, District 11-A and District 11-B entered into a Merged,
Amended and Restated Joint Utility Contract that replaced and superseded the 2006 contract.
Under the third amendment to the contract effective January 1, 2016, District 11-A is now
allocated 0.352 MGD of wastewater treatment capacity, District 11-B is allocated 0.076 MGD
and the District is allocated 0.026 MGD of treatment capacity. Upon completion of the 2018
Riverbend Expansion, District 11-A’s allocation will be 0.352 MGD, District 11-B’s allocation
will be 0.248 MGD and the District’s allocation will be 0.116 MGD. With respect to water
supply capacity, a Second Amendment to Merged, Amended and Restated Joint Utility Contract,
effective February 1, 2013, governs the allocation, which is as follows: 1.312 MGD to District
11-A, 1.187 MGD to District 11-B and 0.501 MGD to the District.

JOINT UTILITY CONTRACT (Continued)
On April 17, 2012, the District, District 11-A and District 11-B executed the First Amendment to
Merged, Amended and Restated Joint Utility Contract. This amendment modifies the procedure
for the allocation of the usage, operation and maintenance costs to be incurred under the
UTRWD contracts. The share of the fixed costs, including Demand Charges and Joint Facilities
Charges under the UTRWD contracts, will be paid based upon the reserved capacity each district
holds in proportion to the total capacity reserved for all districts. Relative to charges under the
UTRWD Water Contract, each district will pay variable costs, including Volume Charges, in
proportion to its relative wholesale water usage on a monthly basis as approximated by the
proportion of each district’s retail customer water billings during any monthly period to the total
retail customer water billings in all three districts. Relative to charges under the UTRWD
Wastewater Contract, each district will pay variable costs, including Volume Charges, in
proportion to its relative wholesale wastewater usage on a monthly basis as approximated by the
proportion of equivalent single-family connections (ESFCs) in each district to the total number
of ESFCs in all three districts.
The term of the contract is 40 years from the date of its execution. The contract is renewable for
20 year periods.
NOTE 12.
UNREIMBURSED DEVELOPER COSTS
The District has entered into agreements with the Developer which calls for the Developer to
fund costs associated with water, wastewater, drainage and road facilities and non-construction
costs, as well as operating advances in order for the District to meet its ongoing financial
obligations. As of February 29, 2016, the District recorded $4,515,403 as a liability for
operating advances and construction costs. Reimbursement is expected to be made from the
proceeds of future bond sales.
NOTE 13.
WATER AND SEWER SERVICE AGREEMENT
On February 1, 2013, the District approved a Water and Sanitary Sewer Service Agreement with
Mustang Special Utility District (“Mustang”). District No. 11-A is a party to the agreement for
limited purposes. Mustang holds Certificates of Convenience and Necessity Nos. 11856 and
20930 (“CCN”) to provide retail water and wastewater services to certain areas within Denton
County, Texas, in which area the District is located. In addition, District No. 11-A holds CCN
Nos. 13022 and 20924 to provide retail water and wastewater services to certain areas within the
District.
The purpose of this agreement is to (1) facilitate the provisions of wholesale water supply and
wastewater treatment services to the District by the UTRWD through District No. 11-A, (2)
facilitate the provision of retail water supply and distribution service and wastewater collection
and treatment service by the District within the District service area, and (3) establish the terms

WATER AND SEWER SERVICE AGREEMENT (Continued)
and provisions by which Mustang will operate and maintain the District’s water and sanitary
sewer facilities located within the District’s service area, and provide for compensation for such
services.
During the term of this agreement, Mustang agrees to perform the schedule of services as
outlined in Exhibit “B” of the agreement. Mustang will be responsible for the monthly meter
reading and billing of each customer of the District. Mustang will collect the amounts due the
District for water and wastewater services and will remit the funds collected on behalf of the
District at least once per month. In addition, Mustang will bill and collect for solid waste
collection from each District customer.
Compensation to Mustang for Exhibit “B” services will be based on an annual operations and
maintenance budget beginning October 1 and ending September 30. The costs contained in the
annual budget will be categorized as follows: 1.) Mustang only costs; 2.) District only costs; 3.)
shared costs which are allocated based on the District’s pro rata share of connections; and 4.)
indirect shared administration costs, of which 20% will be allocated to the districts Mustang is
providing service to. The District will be invoiced for actual costs plus a 15% overhead charge.
The summation of categories 2 through 4 above plus a 15% charge will be allocated to the
District based upon the number of active equivalent single family connections for the District.
The number of District connections will be determined monthly and the District’s pro rata share
of costs for the upcoming month will be adjusted accordingly. In addition, the District will pay
Mustang 30% of any disconnection, re-connection and return check fees charged by the District.
For other services provided by Mustang for installations, maintenance or repair of the District’s
system not listed on Exhibit “B”, the District will pay for such costs based upon Mustang’s
actual and direct expenses. Mustang may add a 15% overhead charge to its actual and direct
expenses for these services. The District will pay for such services within 30 days from the date
of the invoice.
No sooner than ten years after the effective date of this agreement, and upon full payment of all
the District’s bonded indebtedness and all outstanding reimbursements due to the Developer,
Mustang shall have the option to purchase the District’s water and wastewater systems in its then
present condition at Mustang’s sole option at a cost of $500, provided that at that time of the
exercise of the option, Mustang delivers an opinion of counsel satisfactory to UTRWD and the
District that certifies that Mustang or its successor is a governmental unit within the meaning of
Section 141 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The term of this agreement is 25 years from the effective date, unless terminated by Mustang
pursuant to the option to purchase the District’s water and wastewater systems.

Providence Village Water Control and Improvement District of Denton County), Denton County
Fresh Water Supply District No. 10, Denton 11-A and Denton No. 11-B have entered into a Fire
Protection Services Agreement with the City of Aubrey, Texas (the “City”). The City agrees to
provide fire protection services to persons, buildings and property located within the
participating districts, including land added to the districts by annexation, in the same manner
and to the same extent as it would within the City. The participating districts agree to make
monthly payments to the City based on the number of full-time-equivalent employees
determined necessary to staff the fire station. Under this agreement, each district’s share of costs
will be based on the number of connections within such district in proportion to the total number
of connections within the districts. The number of connections is to be reassessed on at least a
quarterly basis. The term of this agreement is ten years. During the current fiscal year, the
District incurred $15,823 in relation to this agreement.
As of April 21, 2015, the Fire Protection Services Agreement was further amended to extend the
term to 15 years and to provide Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 10, beginning
January 1, 2018, an option to exclude a defined portion of the area within its boundaries from
service (and corresponding payment obligations) under this Agreement.

Effective October 1, 2015, the District and District Nos. 8-A, 8-B, 11-A and 11-B entered into a
Joint Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for Full-Time Law Enforcement Patrol Services with
Denton County. The districts share the salary and benefits costs associated with two deputies
assigned to patrol these districts on a full-time (40 hours per week) basis, and the districts also
are responsible for the purchase of a vehicle and the equipment necessary to outfit each deputy.
NOTE 18.
AGREEMENT REGARDING ALLOCATION OF WHOLESALE WATER
AND WASTEWATER VOLUME CHARGES
Effective May 1, 2016, subsequent to year end, District 11-A and District 8-A executed an
Agreement Regarding Allocation of Wholesale Water and Wastewater Volume Charges. The
agreement provides for a more effective and accurate allocation of UTRWD’s water and
wastewater volume charges to the District and Districts 8-A, 8-B, 11-A and 11-B (Paloma Creek
Districts). See also Notes 9, 10 and 11.
The water volume charges will be allocated monthly to each district based on the proportion of
its monthly retail water usage to the total monthly retail water usage of all Paloma Creek
Districts. A district’s monthly retail water usage is calculated as the total gallons of water billed
to such district’s retail customers each month as reported by Mustang plus the total gallons of
water used by such district itself each month as reported by Mustang.
The wastewater volume charges will be allocated monthly to each district based on the
proportion of ESFCs served by such district to the total number of ESFCs in all of the Paloma
Creek Districts. The number of ESFCs must be updated for such cost-allocation purposes at
least quarterly.
