🚧 BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN GRAND SALINE! 🚧
While most infrastructure improvements happen behind the scenes, we want to share some of the exciting projects currently underway and in development to improve our community's water and wastewater systems.
💧 Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements (TWDB #73854)
After years of planning and securing funding, major improvements to the wastewater treatment plant are moving forward. Upgrades will include aeration system improvements, pump station rehabilitation, and other critical enhancements designed to improve reliability and efficiency. City leadership continues to push for accelerated timelines to ensure residents see the benefits as quickly as possible. Due to the scope of the work and regulatory requirements, improvements are expected to continue through 2027.
🏗️ $750,000 Wastewater Grant Awarded (TxCDBG)
The City has secured a $750,000 grant through the Texas Department of Agriculture for additional wastewater treatment plant upgrades. Requested improvements include new headworks equipment, drying bed reconstruction, grit chamber improvements, installation of a SCADA monitoring system, and other critical infrastructure enhancements.
🚰 Pursuing Millions in Water Infrastructure Funding
The City is actively pursuing major state funding opportunities to improve Grand Saline's water and wastewater infrastructure. Applications are being submitted through:
✔️ Water Supply & Infrastructure Grants (WSIG) Program
✔️ Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Program
✔️ Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Program
These funding opportunities could support:
✔️ New water wells
✔️ Water storage improvements
✔️ Water line replacements
✔️ Water loss reduction projects
✔️ Meter and distribution system upgrades
✔️ Wastewater system improvements
Combined applications and funding requests currently exceed $20 million in potential water and wastewater infrastructure investments for our community.
🚜Near $2 Million Sewer Infrastructure Improvement Loan
Construction crews are actively replacing aging sewer lines and manholes throughout the city. Work has already been completed in several areas, with projects near Lakeside Drive, Houston Street, Main Street, Spring Street, Highway 80 West, and the wastewater treatment plant. Although some construction activities and system disturbances can contribute to temporary water discoloration, these improvements are necessary steps toward modernizing critical infrastructure and improving service reliability.
📋 Planning for the Future
The City has also received a grant to assist with long-range strategic planning efforts, including housing, infrastructure, hazard resilience, and future development needs.
Progress doesn't happen overnight, especially when it comes to infrastructure that serves an entire community. However, project by project, grant by grant, and improvement by improvement, Grand Saline is positioning itself for a stronger future.
Thank you for your patience, support, and commitment to our community as we continue moving Grand Saline forward.
