A bid $1 million over budget didn’t stop El Campo’s city council from unanimously approving water line
replacement work last week. The entire cost will be covered by federal American Rescue Funds, although the $2.5 million bid awarded to Resicom, Inc. of Bellaire pulls dollars away from a pending water well replacement plan on Avenue F. The new Avenue F well is still in the plans although it’s uncertain now where funds will come from to pay for the project.
