Description: -- Certificates of Convenience and Necessity (CCNs)
A Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) grants a CCN holder the exclusive right to provide retail water and/or sewer utility service to an identified geographic area. Chapter 13 of the Texas Water Code requires a CCN holder to provide continuous and adequate service to the area within its CCN boundary. Municipalities and districts normally are not required to have a CCN; however some municipalities and districts do have a CCN. A district or municipality may not provide services within an area for which another utility holds a CCN unless the district or municipality has a CCN itself for that area. Water and sewer utilities are certified to provide services in various types of service areas. The most common are (but are not limited to):
Bounded Service Areas: These are areas that form closed boundaries. These boundaries often follow identifiable physical and cultural features such as roads, rivers, streams and political boundaries.
Facilities+200 Feet: These are service areas of utilities and are represented by power/electrical lines; however, they also include a buffer of a specified number of feet (usually 200 feet). The lines can, but may not necessarily, correspond to distribution lines or facilities in the ground and which normally follow along roads.
Facilities Only: Facilities only lines are granted for a "point of use" service area that covers only the customer connections at the time the CCN is granted. Facility Only service lines can, but may not always, correspond to the location of the utility's distribution lines in the ground.
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: October 1, 2020The 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 10.3.1.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: water@puc.texas.govTYPE - This numeric field 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 - This five-digit alphanumeric field contains a unique number assigned to each CCN when it is created and approved by the Commission.UTILITY - This alphanumeric field contains the name of the utility which owns the CCN.TX_CNTY - This three-character alphanumeric field contains the Texas county code assigned to the Texas county by the TxDOT. This code represents the county which completely contains the CCN. If the CCN crosses county lines, then an "M" is used to indicate multiple counties. COUNTY - This alphanumeric field contains the name(s) of the county(ies) referenced in TX_CNTY.
