Crockett approves financing resolution tied to $12M TWDB wastewater project
Summary
Council approved a resolution allowing the city to finance repairs to Clarifier No. 2 at the north wastewater treatment plant and to reimburse itself once a Texas Water Development Board grant for a larger plant rebuild is received.
The council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing financing to cover expenditures for the repair of Clarifier No. 2 at the north side wastewater treatment plant. Staff said the Texas Water Development Board has approved a wastewater project award that will fund a larger rebuild of the north plant (staff cited a $12,000,000 project approval), which allows the city to reimburse itself from grant proceeds for work already completed.
City staff presented the financing as a reimbursement mechanism: funds would be advanced from utility surplus and later refunded when the TWDB grant is received. A council member moved to approve the resolution and the motion carried. Staff noted the resolution is intended to allow timely work to proceed and permit reimbursement once grant funds arrive.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the repair work using utility surplus and track expenditures for reimbursement when the TWDB grant is disbursed.
