In early 2025, construction starts on three new water wells to serve College Station. That follows the city council awarding a $51.5 million dollar contract. City manager Bryan Woods said the timing of the project comes before state regulations change that requires more land to drill water wells. The wells will be located on 300 acres the city of College Station owns in northwest Brazos County near Sandy Point Road and OSR highway. Responding to a council question, Woods said that property won’t be used for other purposes in part due to security concerns associated with the wells. Responding to another council question, Woods said staff always consider teaming up with the city of Bryan and the Wellborn and Wickson Creek utility districts. The construction contract is part of a project of more than $69 million dollars. Funding comes from the city’s water capital improvement projects fund. Construction is expected to be completed, weather permitting, is August of 2028.

For the second and third times this month, there are public meetings involving the future “inner loop east” highway that will be built to the east of Bryan/College Station. Opponents to the highway are meeting Wednesday (November 20) from 6:30 until 8 p.m. at the Bryan High School blue campus auditorium. That’s according to an e-mail sent to WTAW News by a group of residents and landowners called “No East Loop”. Click HERE to read and download the news release from the group “No East Loop”. That follows an open house Tuesday (November 19) hosted by the B/CS metropolitan planning organization (MPO) on future transportation projects that includes the inner east loop. The open house is taking place from 4:30 until 6:30 at the Brazos Center. Click HERE to read and download the MPO’s Mobility 2050: Bryan/College Station Metropolitan Transportation Plan. References to the “inner loop east” are on pages 28-29 as items #92, #113, #117, and #118. A public speaker at Tuesday’s (November 19) Brazos County commission meeting called on the commissioners court to get their own citizen input. John Book brought up that an open house held earlier this month by the Texas department of transportation provided “misinformation or miscommunication” about the project. Book also said “a groundswell of concern” from residents who live in the affected area “requires us as a county to have that conversation, to have it out in public and in a vocal way, more than just on a website or as a come and go (MPO) event” which “is not this body.” Click below to hear comments from John Book during the November 19, 2024 Brazos County commission meeting.
