City helping to advance efforts to repair Meadow Lake Dam Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- Efforts to replace the Meadowlake Dam continue to move forward. The city of Seguin recently agreed to use some of the money that it had committed to the project to get some much needed worok done now. Seguin City Manager Steve Parker says the city has pledged $5 million to help with the construction of the aging dam on the Guadalupe River in Seguin. The city’s funding represents only a third of the total costs, with the rest being funded by the Meadowlake Water Control Improvement District (WCID) or other sources. Parker says the city wants to use a portion of its funding to get some plans completed for the project.

“If you recall in August of this last year, we developed a memorandum that would allow the city to contribute $5 million towards the Meadow Lake dam project. The estimated cost of that initial assessment was a little bit over $20 million (or) $20.8 million -- of which the city could be on the hook for up to $5 million. The idea was that the Water Control Improvement District for Meadow Lake would be on the hook for the difference of that almost $15 million. Again, they’re also going after a grant that’s a little over $5 million. If those things hit, our goal was that the district will pay $10 million, the city would pay $5 million and then the grant would come in (with) $5 million. Dam, pg. 3
