GATESVILLE, TX- Congressman John Carter announced $775,840 in Community Project Funding (CPF) to support upgrades to the Hughes Elevated Water Storage Tank, a critical infrastructure project for the Gatesville community.

The funding was secured through the federal appropriations process and signed into law. The project will help strengthen local water infrastructure, improve reliability, and support the long-term needs of Gatesville residents and businesses.

"Access to safe, reliable water is essential to any strong community,"said Congressman Carter. "This project reflects what can happen when local leaders identify real needs and we work together to deliver results."

Carter has been a leading advocate for securing federal support for priority projects across Central Texas and worked closely with local partners to advance this project through the Community Project Funding process.

"We sincerely appreciate Congressman Carter's efforts to ensure the City of Gatesville continues to provide abundant, clean drinking water to our city and surrounding communities,"said Bradford Hunt, City Manager."As we look at our infrastructure needs and the attendant cost to maintain and improve our services, this appropriation for the rehabilitation of the Hughes Elevated Storage Tank helps offset future rate increases for our water customers."
