MEMORANDUM
October 21, 2025
To: Alison Ortowski, City Manager
From: Lauren LaNeave, Interim Director of Public Works
Subject: Resolution No. 25-041, supporting the application of the City of
Southlake to decertify a portion of Certificates of Convenience
and Necessity (CCN) No. 10101 for water service with the
Public Utility Commission of Texas, revising the service area

Action
Requested: Resolution No. 25-041, supporting the application of the City of
Southlake to decertify a portion of Certificates of Convenience and
Necessity (CCN) No. 10101 for water service with the Public Utility
Commission of Texas, revising the service area boundary to
remove portions overlapping the Town of Westlake.
Background
Information: The City of Southlake holds Certificate of Convenience and
Necessity (CCN) Number 10101 that grants Southlake the
exclusive right and obligation to provide water service within the
CCN boundary. A portion of this boundary extends within the Town
of Westlake limits. The Town of Westlake's CCN does not currently
extend into this area.
A new residential development (Solana Hills) located between Sam
School Road and State Highway 114 within the Town of Westlake
was recently approved, and Westlake has requested this
adjustment so they may provide water service in the area. Westlake
staff reached out to Southlake staff earlier this year to discuss
transfer of service area from Southlake to Westlake. Southlake is
obligated to provide water service within our CCN, but we currently
have no customers in this area.
Transfer of service area requires Southlake to decertify the CCN
area to be transferred so that Westlake can amend their CCN
service area. Revisions to the CCN boundary will align with
Southlake City limit boundary. Southlake staff and the City Attorney
have reviewed the application and boundary adjustments and
recommends approval of the resolution to amend and decertify the

CCN area located within Westlake Town limits. Westlake's
