Appropriations

Project Name: Wise County Water Supply Planning 

Request Amount: $1,300,000

Intended Recipient: Wise County Water Control and Improvement District 1

Physical Location of Project: Decatur, Texas 

Explanation of the request: This study will provide direction for local efforts to secure water for current and future Wise County residents. Understanding the current and future demand for water, the potential sources of that water and having a plan to deliver the water to residents is a top priority for Wise County. Before serious negotiations can take place with current water rights holders in the region, Wise County must understand its demand and the sources of water potentially available to it. The study will be comprised of three primary phases; Water Demand Projections for 10, 20, and 50-year planning period; Water Supply Alternative Analysis; Regional Water System Development and Operational Plan
