Lubbock region nears complete water pipeline project completion
The pipeline system moves enough dirt to cover a Lubbock block from courthouse to Great Plains Building, forming a mound as tall as a 20 story structure. Water costs for member cities stay aligned with prior estimates of a $96 million figure, with repayments delayed until deliveries begin. Residents approved the project six years ago by a 30 to 1 vote, anticipating long term water security despite higher rates.
