minimize system water loss and respond quickly to customer requests. This contract will augment Water Field Operations efforts to perform timely
repairs of service line leaks that are discovered or reported within the water distribution system.

projects commence, additional funding needs are identified and to comply with bond covenants. The actions in the M&C will appropriate funds in
support of the Water's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program, as follows:
