The Giddings City Council adopted Resolution No. 637-2026 on July 13, 2026, authorizing the mayor to execute an agreement with Weisinger, Inc. to purchase pumping equipment and services to rehabilitate Water Well No. 8.

She told council members the city will place a budget amendment on the July 27 agenda to provide funding for the unbudgeted repair.
