The Granbury City Council meeting on February 3, 2026, included significant procurement and budget discussions related to infrastructure and utility projects. The council recognized city staff for their exceptional response to a recent ice storm, highlighting efforts to maintain water and wastewater services, including the use of standby generators and procurement of extra electricity at higher rates to ensure continuous operation. The council also announced a $16.8 million loan approved by the Texas Department of Transportation to fund retail utility relocation and aesthetic improvements for the US 377 project, with a planned groundbreaking in January 2027. Additionally, the city received a $57.8 million grant from the Texas Water Development Board for the engineering and design of a new water treatment plant, part of a $100 million project aimed at improving water quality and reducing costs for residents. These funding sources and projects reflect the city's ongoing capital improvement program and commitment to infrastructure enhancement without impacting the annual operating budget.
