Del Rio Daily Brief: Water Funding, County Services, and Outdoor Updates

Water System Improvements Move Ahead

Del Rio residents can expect long-term upgrades to the city’s water infrastructure after state officials approved more than $16 million in financing for local improvements. The funding supports planning and construction of a new water well, additional water lines, and expanded treatment capacity at the San Felipe Water Treatment Plant.

City leaders say the project is designed to strengthen water reliability as Del Rio continues to grow. The improvements are expected to increase daily treatment capacity and modernize filtration systems, helping the city better manage demand during peak usage and dry conditions.

Wildlife Check Station Active Through February

Hunters in Val Verde County are reminded that the voluntary wildlife check station outside Del Rio remains open through the end of February. The site offers a 24-hour drop box, along with scheduled sample collection by appointment during daytime hours.

The station supports ongoing wildlife health monitoring efforts during hunting season. Officials note that participation helps track regional trends and contributes to long-term conservation planning across South Texas.

County Services Share February Updates

Several county departments are using early February to share service updates with residents. The Val Verde County Library has released its February schedule, confirming regular operating hours while noting a lighter public events calendar this month.

County offices are also continuing routine community programs, including food distribution, social service assistance, and public access to computer and internet resources. Residents are encouraged to check official county pages for service hours and any weather-related changes.

As February gets underway, local officials emphasize staying informed through official updates, especially as infrastructure projects and seasonal programs continue across Del Rio and Val Verde County.
