(Willow Park, Tx) – The city of Willow Park says funding has been approved by the Texas Water Development Board to bring water from Fort Worth to Willow Park and Hudson Oaks.

According to the Weatherford Democrat, the roughly $13.7 million will be split 52%/48% between Willow Park and Hudson Oaks.  Willow Park can expect to add 3.5 million gallons of water per day to their current supply of 1.8 million gallons per day. Negotiations on the Fort Worth wholesale water agreement began in November 2016.

Both cities have struggled with water demand as western Parker County continues to grow.
