Parker County Precinct 3 Commissioner Larry Walden and Jessica Brown, principal and vice president of infrastructure and engineering firm Freese and Nichols, presented a proposal Thursday, June 25 encouraging the city council to join the Parker County Public Utility Agency.

Walden explained the proposal grew out of the county’s Hydrology 2050 Committee, which evolved from an earlier committee that distributed federal funding through the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act.

As the committee reviewed funding requests, Walden said it realized many requests came from water entities throughout Parker County, prompting county officials to shift their focus toward long-term water planning.
