WWC Water Tools & Municipal Resources

Modeled for Texas municipalities pursuing TWDB funding (WSIG, DWSRF, EDAP, SWIFT).

Water Loss & Audit Tools

Directly tied to TWDB's mandatory reporting.

Tool	What it does	Why it matters to your towns
TWDB Water Loss Audit Portal	Official portal where retail public water suppliers file their required Water Loss Audit	Systems with >3,300 connections file annually; ≤3,300 connections file every 5 years (next due May 1, 2026 for many small systems) — this is the single most common compliance gap you'll find in discovery calls
AWWA Free Water Audit Software (FWAS)	Industry-standard spreadsheet tool to calculate real loss, apparent loss, and Infrastructure Leakage Index (ILI)	Feeds directly into the TWDB Water Loss Audit and gives you defensible loss numbers for a WSIG/DWSRF narrative
TWDB Water Loss Dashboard	Interactive statewide dashboard of water loss KPIs by utility, pulled from filed audits	Good for benchmarking a prospective city against peers in a discovery deck
MRWA Leak/Break Tracking Calculators	Circular break, hole-in-pipe, and rectangular break flow-loss calculators; hydrant/pipe flush flow calculator	Small operators use these hand-calculators in the field; linking out here builds goodwill without you having to build the math yourself

The two documents TWDB and TCEQ require before/during funding.

Tool	What it does	Why it matters to your towns
TWDB/TCEQ Model Drought Contingency Plans (Regional Water Plans)	Template DCP language by region	Useful starting point for small towns with no plan at all
TCEQ Drought Contingency Plan guidance	Requirements and model plans for the Drought Contingency Plan (DCP), required of all retail public water suppliers	Every system needs one on file even if not submitted to TCEQ (only ≥3,300-connection systems must submit) — an easy "do you have this?" qualifying question
TWDB Conservation Information Dashboard (GPCD)	Lets a city look up its own historical gallons-per-capita-per-day (GPCD) trend	GPCD and 5-/10-year GPCD goals are a required table in every Water Conservation Plan — this saves the city (and you) a records request
TWDB Water Conservation Plan guidance & checklist	Official requirements and a fillable checklist for the 5-year Water Conservation Plan	Required for any TWDB financial assistance over $500,000 — this is a hard gate for WSIG/DWSRF/SWIFT applicants
