Legislature in 2017. Designed to bolster workforce programs for in-demand skills, the bill authorized community colleges to oer up to three bachelor’s degrees in applied science, applied technology and nursing with approval from the Texas Higher Edu- cation Coordinating Board. Valerie Jones, the associate vice chancellor of academic aairs for LSCS, said one requirement laid out in the bill was that tuition rates would align with standard community college rates. Students who have already earned an associate degree will be able to complete their bachelor’s degree for less than $10,000, according to Jones.

Four Lone Star College System campuses, including two in the Cy-Fair area, will begin oer- ing four-year degree programs for the rst time this fall following a nearly 15-year process to get state approval. LSCCyFair will oer a Bachelor of Applied Tech- nology in cybersecurity out of its Westway Park Technology Center o Beltway 8, and LSCUniver- sity Park will oer a Bachelor of Applied Science in energy, manufacturing and trades management at its Hwy. 249 campus. The new programs were made possible by the passing of Senate Bill 2118 through the Texas

TEXAS CENTRAL GIVES FIRST GLIMPSE OF HIGHSPEED TRAIN CAR INTERIOR Texas Central ocials announced interior plans Feb. 17 for the company’s proposed high-speed train connecting Houston and Dallas, including complementary Wi-Fi, no middle seat and two classes of service. Based on the Central Japan Railway’s Tokaido Shinkansen high-speed rail, Texas Central’s rail cars will be customized for Texas, ocials said. Train cars will have two-by-two or two-by-one seat congurations and will feature high-speed Wi-Fi. Some of the eight train cars may also be “quiet cars” with dierent lighting and restrictions on cell phone usage. Seating will also feature larger seats, wider aisles and more legroom than seating on a regional jet, according to Texas Central estimates. Texas Central ocials anticipate beginning construction on the high- speed rail later this year with the train being fully operational in 2026, spokesperson Caroline Jennings said in an email. The high-speed rail is anticipated to provide riders a 90-minute trip between Houston and Dallas with a stop in the Brazos Valley. Texas Central released interior layouts for a planned high-speed rail project in February. (Courtesy Texas Central) ALL INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE WAS UPDATED AS OF 3120.

WATER Water rates on the rise in Cy-Fair

PUMPING UP THE RATES

To help fund long-term projects at the North Harris County and West Harris County regional water authorities, residents will see increased pumpage fees on their monthly bills.

BY DANICA SMITHWICK

The current water purification site is able to produce up to 70 million gallons daily, but Rendl said a new $1.78 billion plant is under construc- tion with the capacity to treat 400 million gallons daily by the time it is completed in mid-2024. “We’re not going to be using all of that capacity to start with, but as we convert more and more [water] in the area, we’ll be using more of that,” he said. Once the water meets standard, it will be transmitted 26 miles to the water storage and pump station at Beltway 8 and Hwy. 249. Shared with the city of Houston, this transmission line will cost around $445 million. From there, Rendl said more lines would be built for an additional $635 million for 50-60 utility districts in the area to receive surface water by 2025. Starting in 2003, the Harris-Galves- ton Subsidence District mandated the NHCRWA andWHCRWA, among other entities, reach at least 30%, 60% and 80% surface water reliance in 2010, 2025 and 2035, respectively. Rendl said as underground water sources known as aquifers begin to dry up, the ground’s surface has gradually settled downward, a process known as subsidence. This led to the subsidence district’s formation in 1975 and later the mandate that if not met by 2025, water authorities will pay a penalty of around $9 per 1,000 gallons of additional groundwater used, he said. “We’re doing it to meet the sub- sidence district mandates, but we’re doing it also because if we do not do it, we will not have water in the future,” he said.

Groundwater

Surface water

Water bills across Cy-Fair have incre- mentally increased in recent years with some residents paying as much as 50%-100%more since 2015. Rate increases can be tied to several projects underway within the bound- aries of the North Harris County and West Harris County regional water authorities to decrease the region’s groundwater usage through more surface water resources, according to Al Rendl, president of the North Harris County Regional Water Authority. Rates at the NHCRWA will rise again, effective April 1, from $3.85 to $4.25 per 1,000 gallons of groundwater and from $4.30 to $4.70 per 1,000 gallons of surface water. At the WHCRWA, rates rose Jan. 1 from $2.95 to $3.20 per 1,000 gallons of groundwater and from $3.35 to $3.60 per 1,000 gallons of surface water. “We have an additional $1.69 billion of debt that we are taking on to convert 60% of all the water that’s used in the North Harris County Regional Water Authority to surface water,” Rendl said. “And in order to pay for that, we have to increase the fees, … and we will probably go up in the range of 45-50 cents [per 1,000 gallons] for the next three or four years before it’ll start to level off.” The water authorities teamed up with the North Fort Bend and Central regional water authorities and the city of Houston to build the $385 million Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer Proj- ect, which will bring water through the Trinity River to Lake Houston down to the water purification site. This project is slated to wrap up by the end of 2020 or early 2021, Rendl said.

The Cy-Fair area featured several close primary elec- tions in March, including in races for Texas House seats, U.S. congressional seats and a Harris County commissioner seat that is up for grabs following the retirement of long-time Precinct 3 Commis- sioner Steve Radack. In primary elections, Texas voters who register with either the Democratic or Republican party can choose which candidates they think should represent that party during the November general election.

Unocial results showed Diana Martinez Alexander and Michael Moore heading to a runo election in the Democratic primary, while TomRamsey won the Repub- lican primary outright. “Yesterday it was very clear that, even though we didn’t have the same nancial resources as our opponents, we able to stand out because we were speaking to what’s important to the community,” Martinez Alexander said in a March 4 phone call. In a previous interview with Community Impact Newspaper, Moore said his priorities included proactive ood prevention, reducing trac, strengthening health
