Proposition One Two very important water utility projects were approved for the City of La Porte. A water main connection between the La Porte and College View Water Systems consisting of nearly 5300 feet of 12 inch water lines and a water tower with associated water lines for the Northwest portion of La Porte comprise this bond issue. Both of these projects will improve water pressure to their respective areas and will place La Porte on track to meeting elevated water storage standards as set by the Texas Department of Health. The bond projects would total a cost of nearly $1,200,000 were it not for approximately $400,000 in existing bond funds from a previous College View Bond Sale. The actual total cost of the two projects is therefore only $800,000. The College View Connection Project will take place along Spencer Highway west of Underwood Road. The Lomax Water Tower and lines are marked in the vicinity of North "P" Street and Robinson Road. Both of these projects will improve water delivery quality for their respective areas.
