Layer: PUCT_Water_Service_Areas (ID: 0)

Name: PUCT_Water_Service_Areas

Display Field: DBA_NAME

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: A Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) is issued by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), and authorizes a utility to provide water and/or sewer service to a specific service area. The CCN obligates the water or sewer retail public utility to provide continuous and adequate service to every customer who requests service in that area. The maps and digital data provided in the Water and Sewer CCN Viewer delineate the official CCN service areas and CCN facility lines issued by the PUCT and its predecessor agencies. This dataset is a Texas statewide polygon layer of water CCN service areas. The CCNs were digitized from Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) county mylar maps. The mylar maps were the base maps on which the CCNs were originally drawn and maintained. CCNs are currently created and maintained using digitizing methods, coordinate geography or imported from digital files submitted by the applicant. TxDOT digital county urban road files are used as the base maps on which the CCNs are geo-referenced. It is best to view the water CCN service area data in conjunction with the water CCN facility line data, since these two layers together represent all of the retail public water utilities in Texas.*Important Notes: The CCN spatial dataset and metadata were last updated on: April 2, 2026The official state-wide CCN spatial dataset includes all types of CCN services areas: water and sewer CCN service areas; water and sewer CCN facility lines. This CCN spatial dataset is updated on a quarterly, or as needed basis using Geographic Information System (GIS) software called ArcGIS 10.8.2.The complete state-wide CCN spatial dataset is available for download from the following website: http://www.puc.texas.gov/industry/water/utilities/gis.aspxThe Water and Sewer CCN Viewer may be accessed from the following web site: http://www.puc.texas.gov/industry/water/utilities/map.htmlIf you have questions about this CCN spatial dataset or about CCN mapping requirements, please e-mail CCN Mapping Staff: mapping@puc.texas.govTYPE - Indicates whether a CCN is considered a water or a sewer system. If the CCN number begins with a '"1", the CCN is considered a water system (utility). If a CCN number begins with a "2", the CCN is considered a sewer system (utility).CCN_NO - A unique five-digit number assigned to each CCN when it is created and approved by the Commission. *CCN number starting with an ‘N’ indicates an exempt utility.UTILITY - The name of the utility which owns the CCN.COUNTY - The name(s) of the county(ies) in which the CCN exist.CCN_TYPE –One of three types:Bounded Service Area: A certificated service area with closed boundaries that often follow identifiable physical and cultural features such as roads, rivers, streams and political boundaries. Facilities +200 Feet: A certificated service area represented by lines. They include a buffer of a specified number of feet (usually 200 feet). The lines normally follow along roads and may or may not correspond to distribution lines or facilities in the ground.Facilities Only: A certificated service area represented by lines. They are granted for a "point of use" that covers only the customer connections at the time the CCN is granted. Facility only service lines normally follow along roads and may or may not correspond to distribution lines or facilities in the ground.STATUS – For pending dockets check the PUC Interchange Filing Search
