Council authorizes application for Texas Water Development Board grant to build Lake Vista well
Summary
Council voted 6–0 to authorize the city manager to apply for Texas Water Development Board Water Supply & Infrastructure Grant funds to construct the Lake Vista groundwater well; staff said approvals from the NTGCD and TCEQ are already in hand and the application window is limited.
City staff asked council to authorize the city manager to apply for a Texas Water Development Board competitive water‑supply and infrastructure grant for the Lake Vista groundwater well project. Planning staff said the city previously authorized design and construction of a replacement well, and that regulatory approvals from the North Texas Groundwater Conservation District and TCEQ are complete, making the project eligible for the HB500 funding opportunity.
Council discussed the application schedule and next steps; staff said the board will review applications over several months and awards are expected after review. The council approved the resolution authorizing the manager to submit the application and required documentation (6–0), and staff will return with notarized board forms, TCEQ approvals and the project plan as required by the Water Development Board application process.
