Newark council authorizes TWDB application and adopts water conservation plan
Summary
Council approved a resolution authorizing an application to the Texas Water Development Board for water infrastructure funding and adopted a water conservation plan required for grant eligibility; the city's engineer said the plan "is not a drought contingency plan and imposes no mandatory restrictions on residents."
Newark’s City Council voted to authorize an application to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) seeking financial assistance for planned water infrastructure projects, including two proposed elevated storage tanks, and adopted a water conservation plan required for TWDB grant eligibility.
City Administrator Jenni Moore said approval of the resolution is a procedural step toward grant application. City Secretary Michelle Peterson called the conservation plan a TWDB requirement; the City's engineer, Stan, who joined by phone, "clarified that the plan is not a drought contingency plan and imposes no mandatory restrictions on residents" and said Newark's per-capita water use is already roughly 70–80 gallons per day versus the state's 140 gpcd target. Council approved the TWDB application resolution (moved by Nate Butler; seconded by Jennifer Hill) and approved the Water Conservation Plan (moved by Jennifer Hill; seconded by Richard Sidebottom).
