WATER PROJECTS The
District is in the process of installing a water system in the
un-incorporated sections of Hancock County south of I-10.
The
well that is supplying the water is on First St. off of Lagan St.
This well is approximately 800’ deep and will supply 1,200
gallons of water per minute.
The water tower is located at the intersections of Washington
Ave. and Chapman Ave.
It is a 150,000 gallon elevated water tank 150’ tall.
This Phase I Water project included all areas off of
Central Avenue and Avenue B east of
Hwy 603 which is approximately 850 homes and businesses.
The
first area in the Phase II Water Project includes the areas east of Hwy
603, including Garden Isles, Jourdan River Isles and the Blue Meadow
areas. This first area will serve approximately 560 homes.
Hopefully in the near future we will be able to complete the whole
Phase II Water Project which will include 500 more customers when Federal funding becomes available.
The
third phase will complete all areas west of Hwy 603 in the Shoreline
Park area approximately 1,000 homes.
We
are waiting
on Federal funding to start the project. The District's future plan is to provide public water to all of the un-incorporated areas of Hancock County south of I-10 and has most of the necessary plans already done to accomplish this monumental task. |
