The Fulshear Economic Development Corporation convened on June 9, 2025, to discuss critical infrastructure improvements aimed at enhancing the city's water capacity and supporting future economic growth. The primary focus of the meeting was the Pecan Knoll wells project, which is essential for meeting the increasing water demands of the community.

The discussion began with an overview of the current well yield at the Pecan Knoll Water Plant, highlighting the need for additional resources. The project will involve the installation of one on-site well and two off-site wells, along with a booster pump to achieve a total pumping capacity of 5.75 million gallons per day (MGD). This expansion is crucial for accommodating both current and future commercial development in Fulshear.

The proposed project is structured in two phases. The first phase includes the design of the on-site well, which is expected to cost approximately $1.8 million in fiscal year 2025. The construction of this well is slated for 2026, with an estimated budget of $4.059 million. The second phase will focus on the off-site wells, projected to begin in 2027 at a cost of $16 million.

During the meeting, the board proposed funding of $4,059,000 for the project in fiscal year 2026. This investment is anticipated to significantly enhance the city's water infrastructure, making Fulshear a more attractive location for prospective businesses and fostering economic growth within the community.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the importance of the Pecan Knoll wells project as a strategic initiative to bolster Fulshear's water capacity and support ongoing economic development efforts. The board's commitment to funding these improvements reflects a proactive approach to ensuring the city's infrastructure meets the demands of a growing population and business sector.
