The Harlingen WaterWorks System (HWWS) is a public utility. It was originally purchased by the City of Harlingen from CPL in 1950.
The original Board of Trustees was formed under a Trust Indenture that established operational control of four members with the Mayor as an Ex-Officio member.
The HWWS is governed by a five member Board of Trustees. The present operation was established by a charter election in 1978 that set the Utility Board of Trustees of five members that are appointed by the City Commission. The City Manager and the Mayor are Ex-Officio members of the Utility suppliers meaning that operational control of the utility is retained by the Board of Trustees and not by the City Commission.
Board of Directors
Each Utility Board Member serves for a term of four years.
