McAllen, Texas
McAllen residents, you may have noticed higher water bills recently.
On October 13, 2025, the City Commission and Public Utility Board (PUB) approved over $33 million in initial bond funding to finally establish a drought proof water supply for the city’s future.
This funding officially launches the massive $180,000,000 Brackish Groundwater Treatment Plant project. This facility is key to reducing reliance on the Rio Grande and build an independent water source for McAllen.
The planned location for the Brackish Groundwater Treatment Plant is the site of the existing Northwest Water Treatment Plant on North Bentsen Road.
