Pipeline upgrades face funding gap for Pecos County water system
City officials warn that replacing a nine mile section of pipeline north of Fort Stockton could cost 7 to 9 million dollars, but Pecos County budget talks show no funds set aside. District officials note recent drought and heavy rains crack soil, risking the water source. The new reverse osmosis plant near Valentine Street is scheduled to open next week, offering 1.3 million gallons daily capacity at about 2.5 million dollars.
