Crockett authorizes application for up to $10 million in TWDB water‑line funding
Summary
Council approved a resolution authorizing staff to submit an application to the Texas Water Development Board requesting up to $10 million for water‑line repair and replacement; staff said the application is being prepared in‑house and is competitive with no local match required if awarded.
City staff told the council the resolution would authorize submitting an application to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for up to $10 million to support waterline repairs and replacements. Staff said the funding opportunity comes from a recent constitutional appropriation and that the program allows requests of up to $10 million with no local match required if the city is selected.
Staff explained the application process is competitive and said the city is roughly halfway through completing the application materials in‑house; KSA is listed as the engineer assisting with preliminary budgets. Council members asked whether grant writers or outside administrators would be required; staff said the application work and administration would be done by city staff.
A council member moved to proceed with the application; the motion was seconded and carried on voice vote. Staff said if the city advances past initial evaluation steps, council will be asked to approve funding details for individual projects and any required contracts following award.
