In a recent meeting of the Fulshear Economic Development Corporation, significant discussions centered around the city's water infrastructure plans, particularly the development of new wells to enhance water supply. The meeting highlighted a timeline for the construction of a new deep well, with design work initiated in February 2025. Officials anticipate that bidding for the project will commence in October 2025, with construction expected to start in January 2026 and completion projected for January 2027.

The proposed deep well is part of a broader water and wastewater master plan aimed at addressing the growing water demands in Fulshear. The project is estimated to cost over $4 million for the deep well alone, with additional costs anticipated for two off-site wells, which are expected to include necessary storage and pumping infrastructure. The discussions clarified that while the deep well will provide essential capacity, future plans include the addition of a 1.5 million-gallon storage tank to support both groundwater and surface water blending.

Key stakeholders emphasized the importance of these developments in ensuring a reliable water supply for the community. The meeting also touched on the need for associated improvements, such as electrical upgrades and chemical feed systems, to support the North Fork Wind Water Authority's operations.

As the city moves forward with these plans, the timeline for design completion is set for mid-2025, allowing for a smooth transition into the bidding phase. This proactive approach to water management reflects Fulshear's commitment to sustainable growth and infrastructure development, addressing both current needs and future demands. The community can expect further updates as the project progresses, with the next steps focused on finalizing designs and preparing for the upcoming bidding process.
