2026 Water Supply Project:
(September 2025 Update)
Our ongoing water supply expansion project is finally on the way!
After YEARS of programmatic and environmental review, the TWDB is finally allowing us to proceed with our supply expansion project. The project consists of three contracts - The wells, the facilities, and the pipelines.
CID-01 Wells:
The wells component consists of three 2,000 gpm Simsboro wells, which will double the District's production capacity. Bids were opened for the wells contract on June 26th. The low bidder was Weisinger, Inc. for a total of $10,998,500. The contract stipulates final completion in 15 months, with the wells to be drilled and tested in 12 months. This component is fully funded through the TWDB.
CID-02 Facilities:
The facilities component consists of a treatment plant for the wellfield along with ground storage tanks and transmission pumps. This contract is out for bid now, with bids due to be opened on September 11. The facilities contract is estimated at $23.7 million. This component is fully funded through the TWDB.
CID-03 Pipelines:
The final contract includes the pipeline to transport all this additional water as well as some improvements to the distribution system. TWDB is nearing completion of their review process for this component, and we hope to be able to bid it by the end of this year. Current estimates put the cost of this contract at just over $51 million. The District is currently arranging a bond issuance to fund the construction of this component.
The estimated completion date on the full project is June of 2027.
