Fulshear's water infrastructure is on the brink of significant advancements, as city officials provided an update on the ongoing water plan during the June 17 City Council meeting. The elevated storage tank, a key component of the project, is nearly complete, with 96% of the budget utilized from a total of approximately $4.2 million. Currently, the tank is being filled from the system, with plans to optimize usage during non-peak irrigation times.

The Pecan Knoll Water Plant, also known as Water Plant Number 2, is making strides as well, with 81% of the project completed in terms of days and 82% based on financial expenditures. The plant's budget stands at around $14.4 million, with $11.7 million already invoiced. Recent activities include generator training and ongoing electrical work, as the team prepares to fill the ground storage tank, which holds 1.5 million gallons.

Officials noted that rainfall has positively impacted water levels, reducing the need for irrigation and allowing for more efficient filling of the storage tank. As the city moves closer to full operational status, questions remain about the timeline for completion, with officials optimistic about meeting upcoming deadlines. The community can expect further updates as these critical water projects progress.
