Texas’ Webb County launches long-awaited rural water pipeline project
(UI) — Webb County has broken ground on a long-anticipated water pipeline along U.S. Highway 59, a project designed to bring dependable water service to rural areas, according to LMTonline.
County officials gathered with U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar to mark the start of work, which is funded through $7.5 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Commissioner Rosaura “Wawi” Tijerina said the initiative caps years of advocacy for infrastructure improvements.
Cuellar called the effort “progress,” noting it will improve quality of life for residents who have long lacked stable service. Webb County officials said the project is still in early construction, with planning and coordination continuing.
The water pipeline is part of broader utility upgrades aimed at replacing and repairing infrastructure across the county, LMTonline reported.
