Background:

The proposed Webb County Texas Parks and Wildlife Non-Urban outdoor project will provide low to very low-income beneficiaries in the rural areas of Webb County with a first-time outdoor aquatic recreational activity – Splash Pads in two separate and distinct rural areas. Rural areas include Colonia Bruni located in southeast Webb County, Texas and Colonia Rio Bravo located in south Webb County just fifty-Two (52) miles from Bruni, TX.

The first splash pad will be located on 1600 Orquidia Lane, Rio Bravo, TX 78046. Webb County is estimating for the splash pad in Rio Bravo, Texas to measure approximately 35’ x 35’ and will consist of at minimum eleven (11) water features. The second splash pad will be located at 303 12th Street, Bruni TX 78344. The splash pad will measure approximately 35’ X 35’ and will consist of at minimum eleven (11) water features. The activity of a splash pad in both areas will expand the complex recreation facility for the rural residents of Webb County.

The splash pads will use a unique design feature by using an operated recycled water system reservoir that recycles the water that is being used. The permanently installed potable water source with an automatic level controller for the reservoir will also have an automatic chemical controller provided that it is capable of shutting off the splash pad feature pumps. The water will be treated with an ultraviolet (UV) light treatment system provided or equivalent as approved by the Texas Department of Public Health for reduction of cryptosporidium.
