The City of Beeville (City) provides retail water service to approximately 13,211 residents through over
4,730 active connections in Bee County, Texas. The City’s primary water source is surface water from
Lake Corpus Christi, treated at the George P. Morrill Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and conveyed
approximately 18 miles via the Clareville Pump Station. Groundwater from four wells at Chase Field
supplements the supply, serving areas outside the city limits, while in-town wells were decommissioned
due to rising salinity. In response to declining lake levels and persistent drought conditions, the City
launched efforts to evaluate alternative water sources. To support long-term supply resilience, the City
contracted Garver to conduct a feasibility study assessing the projected water supply gap, regional
trends, infrastructure needs, implementation timelines, and potential alternative supply strategies.
