Groveton council to discuss financing for digital water meters

Groveton City Council is scheduled to discuss possible financing for digital water meters at its regular meeting June 22, but the available agenda does not show that the project or borrowing has been approved. The discussion could affect how the city measures water use, detects leaks and bills customers, although the financial and implementation details remain unresolved.

The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. at the Trinity County Annex, 162 W. 1st St. The agenda calls for a presentation by Josh Dougan of HydroPro Solutions and lists possible financing with Government Capital Corporation. It does not identify the number of meters, financing amount, repayment terms, installation schedule or expected effect on customers.

Other agenda items

Council members also are scheduled to discuss a proposed easement for Groveton Hardware and consider renewal of the city’s interlocal agreement with the Trinity County Sheriff’s Department. The agenda also includes roads and bridges, police, municipal court and financial reports for May 2026. The next known step is the council’s scheduled June 22 discussion; the available record is an agenda rather than meeting minutes or an adopted financing agreement, so its outcome has not been verified.
