CHAPPELL HILL WATER SUPPLY CORPORATION – 9/11/2022

On Friday, September 9, 2022 the Chappell Hill Water Supply Corporation initiated a Go Fund Me page to support their “Save the Water Tower” campaign. The iconic water tower is in serious need of repair. Built in 1967, the water tower has provided water for customers in the Chappell Hill area for more than 55 years. These customers include both residential and business entities. There is not a shortage of water, but the storage and delivery of the water are the issues. The water supply corporation has grant applications in place with the TWDB (Texas Water Development Board) and the LCRA (Lower Colorado River Authority), but the grant requests can take several months before a decision is made. The Go Fund Me donations are designated for immediate tower repairs as well as a generator that is mandated by TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality). Donations are gratefully accepted at www.chappellhillwater.com and at local merchants on Main Street in Chappell Hill. Donations can also be made directly to the SAVE THE WATER TOWER campaign account in person or mailed to Chappell Hill Bank, PO Box 280, Chappell Hill TX 77426. Specific details about the repairs needed are available at www.chappellhillwater.com.
