IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

————————————————————————————————————

The City of Bowie, in an effort to keep our residents at Lake Amon Carter informed, has developed a voluntary mass messaging system to notify residents at Lake Amon Carter of emergency conditions at the lake and Selma Park (flooding, lake closure, park closure, etc.).  Using this system, lake residents can be notified by automated phone call, text message, or e-mail.  There is no charge for these notifications.  If you would like to participate in this program, please provide the following information:

An IMPORTANT reminder, do NOT send this back to Amon Carter Water, send ONLY to the Emergency Management Coordinator for the City of Bowie at EMC@CityofBowieTx.com

And please tell your neighbors that may not get our emails, or see our Facebook page, or this website.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

Dear Valued Members,

This is a notification that we have been forced to implement a water rate increase due to the rising costs of supplies, materials, labor, and maintenance, state testing, mileage, fuel, utilities, and our new injection system that has been required by the state of Texas. Our latest water testing has produced great results, however, our overall operating costs have increased substantially while still maintaining a quality rural water supply.

Our new rate will go into effect Oct 5, 2023 for the November billing, with the base rate set at $55.00. The rates over that have remained constant at $4.50 per 1000 gallons water, just as it is now. (You can see a sample rate chart under Rates and Fees)

We are grateful for your ongoing support and understanding in this matter. If you have any questions, please visit our website or contact our office direct.

Sincerely,

Your Amon Carter Lake Water Supply Staff and Board of Directors

Our Service Area

We do not service Silver Lakes (contact the city of Bowie), Frontier Shores, or anything outside our service area. This includes new developments outside our established service area. Our system was designed and implemented in 1995, by a group of engineers establishing our maximum capacity. Entertaining anything outside of that area would impact our current customers. Thank you for your understanding.

Notice To All Amon Carter Lake Water Supply Corporation Members

We appreciate all our valued members that use our autopay system or mail their payment in a timely manner. Thank you, because you are the ones that keep us going! Unfortunately, we have some accounts that take advantage of all of us as a corporation and fail to make timely payments. In order  to maintain our current status we will no longer be able to serve accounts that are over ten (10) days late. After ten (10) days your service will be discontinued until the account is caught up. There will be an additional $75.00 service charge per occurrence to cover equipment and transportation costs to turn off your service, and another to restore your water service.     

The billing you receive in the U. S. Mail every month is your reminder to pay your bill. There will be no past due notices mailed out. We know sometimes bills get lost in all the junk mail we all get. If you haven’t received your bill  around the normal time (prior to the 15^th) just give us a call and we will be happy to advise you of your amount due.

Want to avoid the hassles of paying your bill manually or making a trip to our office? We have made it easy to join our bank draft program with a one-page application located on our website at

https://www.amoncarterwater.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/bank draft application.pdf

Again, we thank you and appreciate all our members that help keep our non-profit corporation running.

Please feel free to contact us at 940-872-5505
