Beaver Water District presented its 2023 Water Master Plan, identifying rapid demand growth and the need for major capital investments in treatment, storage, and pumping infrastructure. A key project is an 80 million gallons per day plant expansion in Lowell that will increase water transmission capacity by 57 percent, with an estimated cost of 354 million and completion targeted for early 2029. The District anticipates more than 700 million in capital investment over the next decade and plans to increase rates over the next five years based on a rate study by Carollo using the 2023 Black & Veatch plan. No specific design or construction vendors were named for the Lowell expansion, indicating that detailed planning, design, and delivery strategies are still being shaped—creating significant opportunities for engineering, construction, controls, and program management firms to support the plant expansion and associated regional water infrastructure upgrades.

Carollo conducted the rate adjustment study using the 2023 Black and Veatch Water Master Plan, but t...

VBMU’s long-range capital plans outline about $79.2 million in water projects, $64 million in sewer projects, and over $1.1 million in equipment replacements over the next decade-plus. Items include meter replacements, distribution upgrades, master plans, CAO-driven SSES work, WWTP improvements, and multiple pump station and line projects. These are not yet individually procured but define a strong pipeline of future engineering, construction, equipment, and technology buys.

CIP tables explicitly list outstanding long-range needs; many projects are tied to consent order mil...

Mountain Home authorized up to $20,000,000 in 2026 water and sewer revenue improvement bonds to fund additions and improvements to its water distribution system. The project includes a new pump station, new water distribution main, and preparation work for a future water storage facility, focused on the west and southwest parts of the city. Design, construction, and equipment vendors in water infrastructure, controls, storage, and related services should track how these bond proceeds will be programmed and which components may still need external support.

Bond proceeds may also fund bond insurance, debt service reserve, and issuance costs; specific engin...

Aubrey approved the preliminary Service and Assessment Plan for the Palomino Public Improvement District, a 40-acre, 300-lot subdivision that will need roads, water, sewer, drainage, landscaping, and related soft costs. The plan budgets about $9.4M for physical improvements and $10.5M total including issuance and admin, funded via assessments and a future reimbursement agreement/bonds. No construction contractors are named yet, so civil, utility, landscaping, and project management vendors can still influence design, phasing, and implementation as the City moves from plan to procurement.

Reimbursement Agreement dated June 25, 2026 between City and Lennar will fund improvements, with fut...
