Council reviews water projects: Estates Road waterline, McGarity tank work and a proposed 1,000,000‑gallon tank
Summary
Staff updated council on multiple water projects including an Estates Road waterline ($584,757), McGarity tank rehabilitation and a conceptual proposal to replace a 200,000‑gallon tank with a 1,000,000‑gallon ground storage tank (conceptual cost cited).
City staff told the council the Estates Road Waterline construction contract is ready and the construction cost is $584,757. Staff also described McGarity pump‑station tank rehabilitation work scheduled for bid, clarifying that painting and rehabilitation work triggers compliance upgrades.
On longer‑term storage, staff presented a conceptual design and cost estimate to remove a 200,000‑gallon tank and replace it with a 1,000,000‑gallon ground storage tank to meet North Texas' eight‑hour storage expectation at buildout; staff cited an initial cost figure of "$33,960,000" for that concept and described schedule constraints to avoid summer‑time service impacts. Council and staff discussed intake/refill rates and the timing for final design and bids.
