The Alliance Regional Water Authority (ARWA) plans on delivering the City of Buda water from the Carrizo Wilcox Aquifer by the summer of 2023. Buda has been working with ARWA on this project since 2017, but the costs have risen since the last projections.

The project to bring Buda’s growing population water is expected to cost the city $12.2 million in principle amount. On Tuesday night, council members passed the resolution to adopt the Contract Revenue Bond in the principle amount of $6,225,000 for Phase 1B, which has increased since the last projections.
