The City of Granbury’s proactive leadership and commitment to securing outside funding have resulted in one of the largest financial boosts in the City’s history. The Texas Water Development Board has approved a $57.8 million drinking water emerging contaminants grant to the City. It goes directly toward improving the quality, capacity, and reliability of Granbury’s drinking water.
This funding will cover a large portion of the planning, design, and construction of a new $100 million water treatment facility while also adding advanced treatment capabilities at the existing plant. Together, the two facilities will ensure Granbury continues to deliver clean, safe, great-tasting water that meets the community’s needs.
“These improvements strengthen our entire water system and protect our future,” said City Manager Chris Coffman. “This grant saved every man, woman, boy, and girl in Granbury about $5,000. It’s one of the biggest financial awards our community has ever seen. It pays for the technology that enables clean, safe drinking water, without putting the burden on local taxpayers.”
The ten-year Capital Improvement Plan for water and sewer infrastructure is priced at approximately $250 million. With this $57.8 million grant, Granbury is investing in clean water, system reliability, and real savings for every resident, both today and for generations to come.
