We have been made aware of an email campaign from DOXO, titled “doxoDIRECT Agreement and Enrollment form”. They are aggressively asking for you to complete a pre-filled form with our information and requesting our banking information so that they can deposit payments into your account rather than send a check.  This payment program is not part of our operations nor part of a Bill Pay program at your bank.

We recommend that you DO NOT give them this information. By doing so, you are agreeing to sign a contract with them for their merchant services.

In the past, we have received many inquiries regarding payments that customers said they made, but not through our Online Bill Pay integrated payment system nor through a bank’s payment program.  After a good amount of research, we found that DOXO set up a payment page for our utility without our knowledge and a check would eventually arrive for that customer’s payment.  In the meantime, many accounts went past due or the meter was even locked while we waited for the payment.  Our online payment program and your bank’s payment programs are safe, secure ways to ensure payment is made timely.

Get to Know Your Sprinklers and Lawn this Spring —–THESE CLASSES WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN NEXT  SPRING.  CHECK BACK HERE FOR DETAILS.

Virtual Classes by Upper Trinity Regional Water District to Help Homeowners Reduce Outdoor Watering for a Sustainable Landscape

March 29, 2022 – Lewisville, TX:  Spring has arrived, and many residents are preparing their landscape for the growing season – – improving their soil, selecting plants to install, fertilizing turfgrass and checking the sprinkler system. For those who are first-time homeowners or are new to Texas, knowing how to operate their sprinklers and care for lawns effectively is not an easy task.

To help residents, Upper Trinity Regional Water District is hosting a series of virtual classes on how to care for turfgrass lawns and how to operate and maintain sprinklers to prevent wasting water and to save money.  These virtual classes will start at 6:30 pm and be taught by experts from Rooted In and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Dallas.

More information and registration for each virtual class can be found on Upper Trinity’s website at https://www.utrwd.com/newsroom/upcoming-events.  The virtual classes are:

  • May 17: What’s New in Irrigation Technology?

In addition to the virtual classes, Upper Trinity is coordinating with local partners to host an in-person irrigation class, “Getting to Know Your Sprinklers,” in multiple locations. Class dates set for this include June 14 at the Flower Mound Library and June 28 at the Global Spheres Center in Corinth.  Registration for these classes and additional classes that may be scheduled can be found at https://www.utrwd.com/newsroom/upcoming-events.  Registration is free but spots are limited, so residents are encouraged to sign up quickly.

Residents looking for additional resources to help reduce outdoor water use should subscribe to WaterMyYard.org, which provides weekly lawn watering runtime recommendations based on local weather data in their area.  Find videos and other resources on the Upper Trinity website at www.utrwd.com or call 972-219-1228.

STEPS TO TAKE IF WATER OUTAGE OCCURS

  1. Call Cross Timbers Water Supply office for more information – 940-584-0780.
  2. Open outside hose bib/connection closest to the water meter and leave open until water is back in service.
  3. Open and let cold water run in all bathtubs until clear.  This is to flush interior water lines of the home.
  4. Call Cross Timbers Water Supply office before calling a plumber if any water quality problems continue after water is back in service.

The Cross Timbers Water Supply Corporation Consumer Confidence Report (Water Quality Report) is now available on this site.

  • Are you having trouble with your sprinkler system? The Upper Trinity Regional Water District, in partnership with Cross Timbers Water Supply Corporation, are offering FREE Irrigation System Check-Ups for homeowners! As part of the voluntary program, a licensed irrigator will perform a check-up of the system and identify potential problems, such as a broken or misaligned sprinkler heads and improper controller settings.During the check-up, the irrigator will discuss proper irrigation system maintenance and controller operation and efficient watering habits, as well as provide a written report with suggested repairs and an estimated water savings amount to the homeowner.  The number of check-ups is limited.  Please fill out the online request form at http://bit.ly/UTRWDCHECKUP to request a check-up. If you qualify, the licensed irrigator will contact you to schedule the check-up. For more information on saving water outdoors, visit https://utrwd.com/saving-water/save-outdoors.
  • Check your irrigation system for leaks.  Go through the stations and run each one for a minute to see if you have broken sprinkler heads or areas where no sprinkling occurs indicating a broken pipe underground.  Shut your sprinkler system off for 2-3 days if rain is anticipated or rain has occurred.  Lawns sprinkled twice a week will survive better than a lawn sprinkled every day.
