The Caney Creek Municipal Utility District has released an RFQ for a Design-Builder to renovate our 3,750 sq. ft. office facility in Bay City, Texas, with a budget of $400,000–$600,000.
This project emphasizes interior upgrades, cost management, and collaborative delivery under AIA Document A141.
Submissions are due by July 29, 2025.
Residents of Caney Creek MUD may have recently received a notice regarding elevated levels of trihalomethanes (TTHMs) in the drinking water.
While the district is actively working on solutions, including a proposed Granular Activated Carbon Absorption System, it’s important to stay informed about potential health impacts and precautions.
If you have concerns, consider consulting your healthcare provider and share this information with others in the community.
For more detailed information on the recent exceedance of Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) levels in Caney Creek MUD’s water supply and the steps being taken to address the issue, refer to the official notice from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
We understand the recent rate increase may impact on our customers’ bills, and we are committed to providing transparent updates on the progress of planned future infrastructure projects.
By investing in infrastructure repairs now, we are trying to avoid more costly disruptions in the future.
The new rate increase is necessary to fund critical infrastructure repairs and upgrades to our water and wastewater facilities. It will also contribute to clean, safe drinking water for all the community.
The operational costs of aging infrastructure, maintenance and operations, compliance with regulations, and future planning and growth are the necessities of our District.
Caney Creek MUD must set rates annually to produce net revenues of at least 1.10 times the annual debt service.
The Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Adsorption system will cost approximately $1,000,000 to install and requires annual maintenance of approximately $40,000-$45,000 to properly maintain. This system is the preferred method for removing the TTHMs at the Hall Road Water Plant.
In the last couple of years, labor, chemicals, materials, and energy costs have increased, requiring adjustments to rates to cover ongoing operations.
We are at full capacity with our water, and there is no room for growth in the Sargent Area. We will need an elevated storage tank in the near future (assuming a 500,000-gallon tank), and the estimated cost is 3.25 million.
