Troup, TX (March 2024) – The City of Troup announces the completion of water well repairs to a 1,000-foot deep well that brings potable water to residents. Built in 1957, the well was due for routine servicing in August 2023 when the well suddenly failed, and it was discovered that the pump needed an emergency replacement. The pump replacement and installation were completed in November, and financing for the project was provided by Government Capital Corporation, Southlake, Texas.
“Having partnered with Government Capital for over two decades, the city has always appreciated Gov Cap’s willingness to assist on our projects,” stated Gene Cottle, City Manager, City of Troup. “Government Capital’s expertise in the market was evident due to the ease with which we were able to obtain financing for this project.”
“I want to congratulate Gene Cottle and the City of Troup on successfully completing this project,” commented Stephanie Cates, Senior Vice President, Government Capital Corporation. “We take great pride in assisting Texas cities in fulfilling their goals and objectives to best serve their communities.”
