North Texas Municipal Water District conducted tours Friday, Nov. 4, at its main facilities in Wylie to show officials from member cities the process of drawing water from a lake and treating it for consumption by customers.

The tours marked the 60th anniversary since NTMWD began operations Nov. 8, 1956 in Wylie. That original plant, which is still in use, had a capacity to treat 20 million gallons of water per day (MGD). Since then, the district has built three other treatment plants at its complex in Wylie with capacity to treat up to 70 MGD.
