Construction begins on new water pipeline project in Kyle, Texas
(UI) — Construction has commenced on the final segment of the Carrizo-Wilcox Water Project in Kyle, marking a significant step towards securing the city's future water supply.
Alliance Water, in collaboration with the Canyon Regional Water Authority and the cities of Kyle, Buda, and San Marcos, is overseeing the development of Segment C, the last stretch of the transmission system. Once completed in Fall 2025, this pipeline, spanning over 20 miles, aims to deliver more than 6 million gallons of water daily to the region.
"The start of this work in our community puts the finish line of a multi-year, collaborative project in sight and marks the beginning of a new era," said Mike Murphy, Director of Water Utilities for the City of Kyle. "While we are excited for this transmission system to come online, we are by no means done expanding our water portfolio and meeting our goal of providing long-term water solutions for our residents."
Initial construction activities include environmental surveys, tunnel boring, and site clearing for pipe installation. Crews are currently focused on the Bunton Creek subdivision, with plans to tunnel the pipeline under roadways to ensure minimal disruption to traffic.
"We are excited to get this pipeline project started in construction and look forward to delivering water to our Sponsors along this pipeline in the near future," remarked Graham Moore, Executive Director of Alliance Water.
The Carrizo-Wilcox Water Project underscores the cooperative efforts between local authorities and regional water management entities, reflecting a commitment to sustainable water management and future growth in Central Texas.
