West Galveston Island Property Owners Association

Galveston Public Works Director Brandon Wade presented details of a proposed $46.3 million bond issue for a massive sewer project to the West Galveston Island Property Owners Association on Saturday.

Wade said improvements are planned for the entire island, including the west end, thanks to Council Member Dianna Puccetti.

“Two months ago when I was invited for today, I didn’t have very good news for you,” said Wade, but today I actually do have very good news.”

Wade said the improvements will provide sewer service to west end neighborhoods, as well as bringing the rest of the island into compliance with Environmental Protection Agency regulations.
