Pastor Jake Grogan of Indian Creek Baptist Church led the invocation and thanked the community of Mineral Wells; he asked for wisdom for council members and staff. (Introduced by the meeting chair earlier in the agenda.)
At a City of Mineral Wells council meeting, HDR engineers presented preliminary findings and recommended an optimized conventional 12 million-gallon-per-day Hilltop Water Treatment Plant after reducing earlier 16 MGD plans; the presentation included a Class 5 cost estimate with wide contingencies and a discussion of funding and regulatory steps. Council members pressed for more detailed costing, raised concerns about the large contingency range and procurement timing; no formal action was taken on the Hilltop project this evening.
