​LOCATE BEFORE YOU DIG

If you plan to dig on your property where utility lines such as electric, water, sewer, cable, telephone and natural gas lines may be buried underground, please notify the affected utilities at least two days prior to digging. For your protection from possible serious injury and to avoid liability for damages to any underground utilities, please call Texas811 at 1(800) 344-8377

 
In order to have the location of water and sewer lines in the City's right-of-way identified, call the Utility Operations Division at (972)462-5150, Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 am and 4:30 pm. For the location of other utility lines such as electric, telephone, cable or natural gas, contact your provider of those services. Contact numbers are listed on your monthly bill. You may also call Texas811 at 1(800) 344-8377 or go to the Texas One Cal​l website​.

PRIVATE WATER LINE REPAIRS​

Technicians from the Utility Operations Division can turn your water meter off in order for you to make repairs on your private water line. Call (972) 462-5150 Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 am and 4:30 pm for this service. After repairs are completed, you can arrange to have Utility Operations personnel turn your water meter back on by calling the same number.

 
After normal business hours, on weekends and holidays, for emergency situations call (972) 462-5150 and the phone system will immediately page the on-call technician. The technician should return your call within fifteen minutes to get the necessary information regarding the problem. You will be asked to leave your name and phone number so the technician can return your call. You may also call Coppell Police Dispatch at (972) 304-3610.

 
 

WATER BACKFLOW PREVENTION

The purpose of a backflow prevention device is to keep unsafe drinking water from mixing with the potable water supply. A backflow prevention device is to be installed on:
  • all residential irrigation systems;
  • fire sprinkler systems;
  • commercial facilities where chemicals are used;
  • boiler systems; and
  • other systems where drinking water could become contaminated.
  • Backflow Prevention helps the City of Coppell ensure a safe drinking water supply for its residents.​
Backflow registration is for one year from the date of registration or re-registration. See printable form or online​ version.



 

SEWER PROBLEMS

You may experience sluggish drains in your home or business occasionally. You may also notice an overflow near the property line coming from your city cleanout. This could be caused by a blockage in the sewer line, or it may be the result of tree roots that have grown into the sewer line.

If you experience any of these problems, notify the Utility Operations Division of Public Works by calling (972)462-5150 Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 am and 4:30 pm. For emergency situations after normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, call (972)462-5150.  The phone system will immediately page the on-call technician who should return your call within an appropriate amount of time to get the necessary information regarding the problem. You will be asked to leave your name, phone number, and address so the technician can return your call. You may also call Coppell Police Dispatch at (972)304-3610.

Sewer overflows and backups can cause health hazards, damage to home interiors, and threats to the environment. One of the most common causes of sewer overflows is blockage by grease. Grease gets into the sewer system from household drains and poorly maintained grease traps in restaurants and other businesses. The easiest way to prevent the problem is to keep grease out of the sewer system by following these simple suggestions:

  • Never pour grease down sink drains or into toilets.
  • Scrape grease and food scraps from trays, dishes, pots, pans, utensils and cooking surfaces into a can or into the trash.
  • Don't rinse off oil and grease with hot water.
  • Do not put grease down garbage disposals. Put baskets or strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids, and empty the drain baskets/strainers into the trash.
  • Be cautious of chemicals and additives that claim to dissolve grease. Some of these additives simply pass grease down the pipes where it can clog the sewer line in another area.​
  • Talk to your friends and neighbors about the grease problem in the sewer system and how to keep it out.
  • Call the Utility Operations office at (972)462-5150 for more information.

Junior Master Naturalist: Explore the True Nature of Texas

Open to 4th - 6th graders, September - May

Biodiversity Education Center at Coppell Nature Park

Led by the Biodiversity Center's educational staff and North Texas Master Naturalist volunteers, this program combines engaging classroom training with inspiring field-based discovery to help young people develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of Texas' ecosystems. Through hands-on explorations and outdoor adventures, students will gain the knowledge and skills to become a lover of nature and responsible steward of the environment.

The Junior Master Naturalist program includes seven courses that introduce different aspects of the natural environment. Each course consists of one classroom lesson followed by a field trip practicum. Classes take place at the Biodiversity Education Center, where students explore foundational concepts through engaging activities. Each Field trip is hosted at various conservation sites throughout North Texas. These practicums give students the opportunity to apply the concepts they learned in class, develop skills, and experience wildlife first-hand.

Once they've completed the program, graduates will have the opportunity to help train future Junior Master Naturalists by becoming volunteers themselves!

Register to join the 2019 - 2020 Jr. Master Naturalists at cop​pellactivities.com. The cost is $135 for Coppell residents, $145 for non-residents. Space is limited.

Please note that at least one guardian must provide transportation and accompany his or her children during each field trip activity.​​

The Utilit
y B​illing department maintains normal business hours of 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Customers may bring in payments during that time;​ outside of the normal hours, customers may mail payments, drop payments in the drive-thru drop box located at Town Center, or pay online.​​​​

   
 

PRIVACY NOTICE & F.a.q.s

​Information in your City of Coppell Utilities Department customer account record is generally considered public information under Texas Government Code, Chapter 552 (Public Information Act). However, the Texas Utilities Code, Chapter 182 (Rights of Utilities Customers), provides that a government-operated utility may not disclose personal information, or any information relating to the volume or units of utility usage or the amounts billed to or collected from a customer for utility usage, if the customer requests that the government-operated entity keep the information confidential. If you would like to request that certain information be kept confidential, under Texas Utilities Code, Chapter 182, please complete our online form​.

Why did the City send out the "Request for Confidentiality of Information Maintained by the City of Coppell Utility Department" form?​

The "Request for Confidentiality of Information Maintained by the City of Coppell Utility Department" form was sent to inform all Coppell utility customers concerning the release of information pursuant to the Public Information Act and provide our customers with a method for keeping their information confidential.

Does the City release the social security numbers of its utility customers?

No. While the Texas Public Information Act specifically allows Governmental Utilities to release addresses, telephone numbers, and account information, the state and federal laws specifically prohibit the release of anyone's social security numbers. Completion of the Privacy form provides additional support to the City to withhold account information from public disclosures.

Do I have to pay a fee to keep my information confidential?

No, the City does not charge for this service and has no plans to charge for this service. In the event it was determined that there was a cost to provide this service, staff would be required to bring an agenda item to Council for their consideration and approval. Again, this is a free service, and there is no plan to charge to keep your information confidential.

How do I elect to keep certain information confidential?

Please complete our online form. If you encounter any issues, please contact Utility Billing at 972-304-3695.​

Service Disruption

If your water service has been suddenly interrupted and you do not know the cause, please call the Utility Billing department at 972-304-3695. When water service has been discontinued for non-payment of a bill, the full amount of the bill plus a $20 reconnection fee must be paid before service is reinstated. Customers should contact the Utility Operations department to report water leaks, sewer back-ups, or water quality problems at 972-462-5150.

​water, Sewer, & Garbage Rates

The City of Coppell bases its water rates on meter sizes and employees a seasonal water rate structure to encourage conservation. Seniors and disabled persons are eligible for a discount on residential water, sewer, and garbage rates, with required documentation. For the specific rates and frequently asked questions, please visit our Rates webpage​.

SERVICE Set Up & Changes

The City of Coppell uses an online form to set up new residential utility accounts.  Please review the Service Agreement​.  Contact the Utility Billing department to transfer or cancel service or to set up commercial acco​unts.  Please use the online form​​ to make changes to your payment or contact information. Rental properties must be registered and inspected prior to a new tenant moving in and setting up a utility account. Visit Building Inspections​ for fees and scheduling. ​

Commercial​ customers will not be able to utilize the online form​.  Please c​omplete the Service Application and Service Agreement and return them to the Utility Billing Department either via email at H2OBills@coppelltx.gov or fax at 972-304-7091.

Paying Your Bill

Customers are billed monthly for water, sewer, and garbage services.  Payment is due no later than twenty days from the billing dates. After the 20th day, a 10% penalty will be assessed on the balance. If payment still has not been received within approximately 10 days after the penalty date, your service will be disconnected. Additionally, there will be a $20 reconnect fee to have your service reinstated. To avoid service being disconnected and being assessed the reconnect fee, customers unable to pay their bill in full by the due date should contact our office to make payment arrangements. Payment arrangements are done on a case-by-case basis. Customers may complete and sign a payment arrangement agreement in person or via fax.

​Electronic Bank Drafting Service

Customers may elect to have an automatic electronic bank draft occur for monthly water bill payments. Customers selecting this option will receive a monthly bill stating "Amount Due will be Bank Drafted - DO NOT PAY." Your bank will deduct the water bill amount approximately two to three business days prior to the due date printed on your bill. There is no charge for this bank draft plan and the draft option may be discontinued at any time by simply notifying the City in writing. At this time, please note that participating in the Voluntary Donations is not possible through the electronic bank drafting service.

Voluntary Donations

The City of Coppell has discontinued a voluntary donation program that was payable with the​ monthly water bill. Individuals and businesses wishing to donate to the City will need to contact the department responsible for the program they would like to assist​.

​​​​​​​​​​​Mark graduated from Virginia Tech in 1986 with a five-year Bachelors of Architecture degree. He and his wife, Mia, moved to Valley Ranch about 20 years ago from Washington DC. After a couple years they decided to move to Coppell for their daughter to attend Lakeside Elementary because of the exceptional GT program. They have lived in the Lakes of Coppell since that time.  For 8 years, Mark was an integral member of the board for the largest homeowners association in Coppell (Lakes of Coppell) acting as both its vice president and secretary several times. During his time on the board, the Lakes of Coppell with its over 1300 homes rose to be one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the region.  Over the years he was active in the community devoting time to coaching a variety of youth sports teams. Their daughter, Rachel, is now a proud graduate of UNC Chapel Hill.

His leadership role in Coppell began as a community organizer to ensure that the proposed developments adjacent to the Lakes of Coppell would meet the established high standards. He pushed to make sure that there would be no negative impact on the existing wetland areas or surrounding drainage patterns. Seeing the success he had opposing developers, neighborhood groups across Coppell approached him to run for City Council in 2014.

As a licensed architect in Texas and Virginia with over 30 years in practice, he has a broad range of experience in the design of commercial, retail, military, educational, hospitality, multi-family, residential, and religious projects.  Currently, he is a senior project architect for a mid-size firm in Addison. Mark is also a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accredited professional with a specialty in design and construction from the U.S. Green Building Council.  He has successfully managed large design teams and projects in excess of $110 million. Some projects of local note are; Texas's largest new high school with over 520,000 square feet of space and the First Baptist Church of Coppell (now Gracepoint Church). He was also instrumental in the design of the new Coppell Biodiversity Education Center.

In his time on the council he has served a council liaison to Metrocrest Services and Metrocrest Community Clinic.  Mark has been heavily involved with the review of all new construction projects undertaken during his tenure on the council ensuring each project maintains a high level of quality while not frivolously spending taxpayers' money.
