PROJECTS IN PROGRESS:

Watermain Replacement - Ballinger Way NE - 37th to 40th

Status: Design and Engineering

This Project will replace 1300ft of 6" failing steel pipe with 12" ductile iron and will include a new vault with reverse check valve to allow increased fire flow and pressure reducing valve to reduce water aging.

Wellhead Area Security Improvements

This project improves local security of the wellfields with monitoring and surveillance.

Ballinger Roundabout

As part of the roundabout construction on Ballinger and 40th, our watermain requres relocation. Design has been completed and this will be constructed as part of the City's project by their contractor in 2026 and 2027.

 

 

Zone Metering

We are currently installing water flow meters throughout the distribution system that enable us to monitor system demand in various pressure zones. This integrates with our telemetry system to provide real-time and historical information to better operate and diagnose issues in the system.
