Project Summary
The Texas Community Development Fund project will consist of making water distribution improvements that will benefit 1049 people in western Caldwell County. The beneficiaries obtain their water from Tri-Community Water Supply Corporation (WSC), a nonprofit water supplier. Tri Community Water Supply Corporation service area covers approximately 38 square miles in Western Caldwell County along US 80. Tri-Community WSC CCN area covers the following communities Fentress, Prairie Lea, and Stairtown. Tri-Community WSC was ordered by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to treat its water supply according to surface water treatment standards for waterborne pathogens. The presence of water borne pathogens in the water supply is a potential threat to human health. To comply with TCEQ enforcement orders, the WSC proposes to install a water filtering system to treat approximately 500 gpm to meet current water supply demands. The filtering system will be in compliance with TCEQ latest standards and will be located at the existing water treatment plant located at the Corner of Gillis and Ward Street in Fentress, TX.
