Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Denton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Denton Renewable Resource Plan Review and Policy Models
Staff put a price tag on Denton's 100% renewable electricity: roughly $14.7 million a year, about $7 a month on the average residential bill. The council leaned toward keeping bills flat by drawing down an over-collected energy fund rather than skipping the planned 3% base rate increase.
Water Conservation and Sources
Committee members raised questions about water usage in community gardens and requested a broader report on Denton's water supplies and conservation incentives.
Water Treatment Plant Upgrades and Expansion
Denton is investing over $92 million to expand and modernize the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant, replacing 60-year-old infrastructure and increasing treatment capacity to 30 million gallons per day to support city growth.
Water and Wastewater System Monitoring
Denton is moving forward with a $26 million project to replace all water meters with cellular smart meters over the next two years, helping residents track usage and spot leaks early.
