FOR MAY 5, 2026 MEETING
May 5, 2026 – 5:30 PM
City Council Chambers, 803 W. Holland Avenue, Alpine, Texas 79830
1. NOTICE OF EMERGENCY ADDENDUM -
A. Pursuant to Section 551.045 of the Texas Government Code: The following item is added to
the May 5, 2026 Regular City Council Meeting agenda as an emergency item due to an urgent
public necessity.
The emergency nature of this item is based on newly discovered information that was not
known at the time of the original agenda posting. Specifically, City staff has determined that a
municipal water well previously believed to be experiencing a pump-related issue has
sustained a failure requiring the well to be plugged and taken out of service, resulting in a
significant reduction in available water production capacity.
This development represents a material change in conditions from those considered at the time
of the original posting and the May 1, 2026 emergency meeting. The loss of this well places
additional strain on the City’s water distribution system, creating potential risks to system
pressure, fire flow capacity, and overall water supply reliability, thereby constituting an
imminent threat to public health and safety.
Immediate consideration by the City Council is required in order to receive an updated briefing
and to take action on funding mechanisms, including rate adjustments and financing
authorization, necessary to respond to the …
