Relating to the consideration of water conservation by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality when determining whether to grant or deny a petition for the creation of certain municipal utility districts.

HB 2015 requires new petitions for municipal utility districts in Texas to include a water conservation plan meeting specific standards, directly affecting developers and local entities seeking to create such districts. The bill amends the Water Code to mandate this plan as part of the petition (Section 54.015) and adds water conservation as a key factor the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality must consider when reviewing petitions (Section 54.021). It applies only to petitions filed on or after September 1, 2025, with existing petitions governed by prior law. This policy change ensures water conservation is formally integrated into the approval process for new utility districts.
