Water Well #5 startup delayed to mid-December, TCEQ testing cited
Summary
Engineering reported that Water Well #5 will not be available for use until mid-December because additional TCEQ water tests are required; the delay was noted during the council's engineering update.
City engineers told council that the schedule for Water Well #5 has been pushed back and the city cannot begin using the well until required Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) testing is complete.
According to the engineering update, the well's operational date "has been moved to mid-December." Council and staff flagged the delay as a schedule adjustment; no budget changes or contractual disputes were recorded at the meeting. Utility Manager Rachel Belvin and contractor representatives will continue coordination with the GLO and TCEQ on test scheduling and reporting.
Council did not take specific action on the well at the Nov. 12 meeting beyond noting the timing change and recording that additional water tests are required before the city may place the well in service.
