Cleburne Water Supply to Increase by 20%

As a result of the City of Cleburne’s ongoing planning to ensure long-term sustainability and smart growth, the City Council approved action that will increase the City’s water capacity by 20% next year.

The West Loop Reuse Pipeline Project, which will transport treated water from the wastewater treatment plant back into Lake Pat Cleburne through a newly constructed 4.35-mile pipeline, has been awarded to a construction company.

The pipeline will increase Cleburne’s water capacity by 2 million gallons per day (MGD). Funding for the contract with Blackrock Construction is expected to come from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and 2019 water and sewer revenue bonds through the Texas Water Development Board. This project is estimated to take 270 days to complete after construction begins.
