Council reviews $28 million-plus water, wastewater and drainage five-year plan; rate study to follow
Summary
City staff briefed the Keller City Council on water, wastewater and drainage capital projects and debt forecasts, noting $28 million in outstanding projects (largely ARPA and SWIFT), planned tank maintenance, mains and service replacements and a forthcoming rate study to cover future costs.
Keller — City staff told the Keller City Council on June 17 that the city’s water, wastewater and drainage capital improvement program (CIP) includes about $28 million in outstanding projects, with most work funded through ARPA and SWIFT and several large projects nearing completion.
The presentation laid out cash-funded projects for the current fiscal year, highlighted tank maintenance and pump-station work, and warned of potential future debt issuances to maintain system capacity. “Looking at the current, water waste water activity, we have about, just under 28,000,000 outstanding,” staff said during the work session.
Why it matters: The CIP and the forthcoming rate study will determine how Keller funds operations and large capital projects such as the Pearson pump station repair, water main replacements, and pond-dredging programs. Council members and staff discussed timing of projects, the interaction of water work with roadway CIP, and the city’s ability to avoid capacity shortfalls as development continues.
