The City of Fort Worth Water Department (Water Department) has requested the use of a portion of the Chapel Hill Park for a permanent maintenance area for the installation of a 54-inch water line (Project). The Project is to improve water supply to the rapidly expanding north Fort Worth service area, along with the possible addition of one (1) to two (2) wholesale customers in the City’s Northside III Pressure Plane.

The Project has been divided into three (3) separate phases. Phase two (2) traverses approximately 18,200 linear feet, with approximately 424 linear feet within the park.

The location for the proposed 54-inch water main alignment was selected to minimize disruption to the park. The water main will be installed by open cut through Chapel Hill Park at a depth of approximately 10-15 feet.

The Water Department is also requesting a workspace area of approximately 250 feet by 200 feet, totaling 50,000 square feet, which equates to approximately 1.15 acres.

The City Forester has determined that no park trees require removal for installation of the proposed project.

Chapel Hill Park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7, south of Bonds Ranch Road, west of Saginaw Boulevard, north of Boat Club Road, and east of Morris Dido Newark Road.

In accordance with Chapter 26 of Texas Parks and Wildlife Code, the City of Fort Worth seeks to use a portion of Chapel Hill Park for a water line maintenance area. For questions, please contact Mr. David Jodray at David.Jodray@fortworthtexas.gov.

A Public Hearing is scheduled for March 25, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. at the old City Hall, 200 Texas Street, Fort Worth, 76102 during the regularly scheduled City Council Meeting.
