The city of Katy has approved millions of dollars worth of water projects in recent months, and it is largely to keep up with water demands associated with growth, Katy Mayor Pro Tem Chris Harris said.
Approved projects include building two new water storage tanks near Kingsland Boulevard and Pederson Road.
The first is a 500,000-gallon elevated water storage tank to be added to Katy Water Plant No. 7 at Young Ranch. The construction bid was awarded to Maguire Iron Inc. of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, at the Jan. 27 Katy City Council meeting.
The total cost is $1,246,391, which includes contingencies and engineering as well as the base bid, according to city documents.
