Conroe Approves Citywide Water System Model — What Local Homeowners & Real Estate Investors Need to Know

Conroe, Texas, is taking a major step forward to address its growing water infrastructure needs by approving a $196,670 contract to create a comprehensive model of the city’s water system — the first update since 2015. The project, managed by engineering firm Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc., will help guide Conroe’s residential and commercial development for the next decade.

💧 Why the New Water System Model Matters for Conroe Real Estate

Conroe’s rapid population growth has put pressure on its aging water infrastructure. Earlier this year, the City of Conroe placed a moratorium on new residential and commercial development in North Conroe due to limited water capacity.

By modeling the entire system, the city will be able to:

✅ Pinpoint where new wells, water lines, and infrastructure improvements are needed

✅ Plan future water system upgrades more efficiently

✅ Safely lift building restrictions in high-demand neighborhoods

✅ Provide residents, developers, and real estate investors with more transparency on how water capacity will support future growth

🕒 Timeline for Conroe’s Water Infrastructure Updates

The modeling process will take about six months, creating a roadmap for Conroe’s water needs over the next 10 to 15 years. Once complete, the city can prioritize infrastructure projects, support new housing developments, and help meet demand for new homes in Conroe, TX.

🏡 What Homeowners, Developers, and Home Buyers Should Do Now

Homeowners in Conroe: Stay updated — modernized infrastructure can increase property values, improve reliability, and make neighborhoods more attractive to buyers.

Builders & Real Estate Developers: Use this timeline to plan future projects in North Conroe, The Woodlands, Willis, and surrounding areas that may benefit from expanded water capacity.

Home Buyers: If you’re shopping for a new home in North Conroe, talk to your local Conroe real estate agent (that’s me!) about how these improvements could open up more inventory and new neighborhood opportunities soon.
