The Utility Board is a separately functioning enterprise,
formed in accordance with a bond ordinance whereby $1,300,000 of utility revenue
bonds was authorized on September 7, 1949 for the City of Falfurrias to acquire
the local utility system, specifically, the water and sewer systems. The bond
ordinance (Section 38) generally provides that management and control of the
utility system and the expenditure and application of the revenues of the system
shall be placed in the hands of a Board of Trustees during such time as any
bonds secured by a pledge of revenues of the system are outstanding. The natural
gas system was purchased from Houston Natural Gas in 1956. The Board is composed
of the current Mayor of the City and four citizens of Brooks County who are
nominated by the Board of Trustees for four-year terms, with final approval made
by the City Council.
