 PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE AN APPLICATION WITH USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND TO CALL A GENERAL PUBLIC MEETING
The Slocum Water Supply Corporation is preparing an application for funding under the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development.
The proposed project will consist of a new water well and pump station to be installed on ACR 1231 in Palestine, Texas. Furthermore, waterline upgrades on the existing system are being proposed to tie the new pump station to the existing Camp Hill Pressure Plane. Rehabilitations to the existing storage tanks are required in accordance with the TCEQ regulations. Finally, a larger ground storage tank is being proposed at the Denson Springs pump station to increase the storage capacity in support of the total number of connections on the pressure plane.
The application process requires a public meeting to inform the general public regarding the development of the proposed project. The public meeting will be held to give the citizenry an opportunity to become acquainted with the proposed project and to comment on such items as economic and environmental impacts, service areas and alternatives to the project.
The public meeting will be held on June 23, 2025 at 6:00 PM at Slocum High School located at 2764 FM 2022, Elkhart, TX 75839.
