THE BEGINNING-FORT HOOD

Camp received water from a transmission line on the Lampasas River
near the Dam on Lake Stillhouse.

•Construction of the lake started in 1949 and was completed in
1954
•Cost to build-$17 million
• Conservation pool level=594 feet above sea level
•Between 1949 and 1954, the Army constructed a 12 MGD
treatment plant on Lake Belton because the water from the
Lampasas River was not adequate to serve the Base and Killeen
4

5. CREATION OF DISTRICT
•City of Killeen needed water and Ft. Hood wanted to assist City
•Department of Army ruling prohibited Ft. Hood from being in
the wholesale water business and selling water to any City
• Bell County WCID #1 was created in March 1952 to be the
vehicle to sell water to Killeen and other area cities by leasing
the plant from the Army.

6. DISTRICT WATER CONTRACT TO OPERATE WATER PLANT
September 26, 1955 -“THE WATER TREATMENT CONTRACT”
•District begins operating the Water Treatment Plant under the terms of a
“NEGOTIATED WATER SERVICE CONTRACT”, with the Army. Contract No.
DA-41-093 AIV-1146
• District transported water from Lake Belton for use by the US Army under
the adjudicated water rights issued by the Texas Water Commission.

7. WATER PLANT LEASE
February 24, 1956 - “THE LEASE”
• District secured a long term lease “DA-41-443-ENG-4801”, to lease
the existing plant and all of the infrastructure to include all land,
machinery, and appurtenances to be used for the water treatment
plant and all transmission facilities for the supply of water to the
District’s customers.
• This agreement has been extended until 2050 by Supplemental
Agreement No. 3, drafted November 12, 2004.

8. WATER SUPPLY
DISTRICT’S WATER CONTRACTS
April 27,1956 - “KILLEEN AND COPPERAS COVE CONTRACT”
• Entities entered into a contract with the District to treat and
transport water and entities recognized District’s contracts and lease
with the Federal Government.

9. THE DISTRICT’S CONTRACT WITH BRA
July 28, 1964
“CONTRACT WITH THE BRAZOS RIVER AUTHORITY”
• Authority agrees to sell water to District of such quantities as District can
beneficially utilize for a period of 35 years beginning January 1, 1966
• District pays $.02/1000 gallons for water withdrawn from Lake Belton.
• Under terms of “Negotiated Water Service Contract with the Army” – the Army
has a water permit from the Texas Water Commission to divert and use water
from Lake Belton and the District shall not be required to make payment to the
BRA for water diverted for and used by Fort Hood. ( This is called An Adjudicated
Water Right).
• The District shall pay for water diverted by the District for all other use.
9

10. In the early to mid 1980’s water
had become a much needed
commodity and entities such as the
BRA saw it as way to increase
revenues to build reservoirs and
infrastructure to meet water
demands of the area they served.
10

11. Until this time, most water
providers could use as much
water as beneficially needed and
pay around $.02 / 1000 gallons
11

12. In late 1984 and early 1985 negotiations for
water began and it was determined that the
county (BELL) would hold all of the water
rights. Bell County under Judge Garth
authorized Clay Roming, an engineer from
Temple, to determine the water needs for Bell
County.

• On an interim basis (until the new plant is
constructed and operational), the District will
guarantee Killeen an additional 2 mgd of treated
water per day.
• Killeen will not have to pay for the additional
water unless the water is actually used.
• This is to help Killeen with the .6 (.39)rule. TAC
§290.45(f)(4) states that the capacity of the
system shall be at least 0.6gpm per connection
(Killeen’s variance allows them to use 0.39 gpm
instead of 0.6 gpm).
