Capital Improvement Projects
Property taxes collected from customers within the District’s defined areas are used to maintain and improve facilities, equipment, and infrastructure. Recently, WCID No. 17 completed three major projects to ensure continued reliable service:
• An emergency diesel generator was installed at our Mansfield Water Treatment Plant to ensure uninterrupted water service during power outages. The project cost $3.8 million.
• The District replaced the filtration modules at our Eck Water Treatment Plant, which cost nearly $1.5 million. These specialized components filter even the smallest hazardous particles, keeping the water safe, even during flooding
• Finally, several water storage tanks underwent rehabilitation to ensure they remain safe for storing potable water. The rehabilitation cost over $820,000.
Call Before You Dig
Planning to install a fence, sprinkler system, or new landscaping? Texas law requires you or your contractor to contact 811 at least two business days before digging. This free service, funded by utility owners, helps prevent damage to underground lines, service disruptions, and project delays – keeping you and your community safe.
Projects that require contacting 811 include:
• Landscaping
• Building or repairing a fence
• Installing a sprinkler system
• Installing or replacing a mailbox
• Installing an in-ground basketball goal
• Any task that involves digging
Taking this simple step ensures safety and avoids costly mistakes. Call 811 before you dig!
