City of Cibolo, TX – Water Supply Analysis – 10/12/2026
From:Jordan Furnans, PhD, PE, PG
Windward Water Resources Engineering & Geoscience (Windward)
The City of Cibolo currently has 3,800 acre-feet/year of water to serve the
customers in its water service area. Current annual water consumption is
approximately 2,550 acre-feet/year. As demonstrated in the charts below, the
water supply is sufficient until 2050.
Current Water Supplies
= 3,800 acre-ft/yr
Recent Usage
= 2550 acre-ft/yr (approx)
2027 TWDB Predicted Shortages:
2050 – 93 acre-ft
2060 – 738 acre-ft
2070 – 1,476 acre-ft
2080 – 2,321 acre-ft
Additional water is not needed until 2050 at the earliest, likely 2060 is a more
realistic needs-timeframe. Cibolo must consider the future water supply, based
upon current assets or other water supply options needed to serve future
customers to year 2080.

Summary of Direction from Schertz City Council
Cibolo Council Consensus for CVLGC
Summary of Direction from the Schertz City Council Workshop on
October 13, 2026, to Provide Consensus on Goals for CVLGC Water
Rights*
Need to move in a timely manner so as not to lose the water rights
due to inactivity.
Ensure Schertz is guaranteed it will have rights to the amount of
water it needs in the future, when it is needed. The excess can be used
to structure a favorable deal.
It doesn’t make sense for CVLGC to develop the water as that creates a
situation where Schertz has with two water corporations to support
and a duplication of costs/overhead.
A goal would be to minimize the development costs placed on Schertz
now while we are still paying for infrastructure and capacity with
SSLGC.
There are benefits to partnering with an entity that already has an
obligation to serve Schertz’ residents and businesses and that Schertz
has an ongoing working relationship with.
Seek a win-win scenario with the most benefit through how the
partnership is structured.
*This is staff’s summary of the general consensus and direction. The entire
conversation can be viewed on the City of Schertz’ website – discussion starts
3:01:30 into the meeting video.
City of Cibolo City Council
Review of CVLGC Assets and City Needs Moving Forward
Question 1: Do we find CVLGC's purpose to be beneficial to contributing to
the City's future water needs?
Summary of Responses:
The responses reflect a generally favorable but mixed perspective regarding
CVLGC's potential role in meeting the City's future water needs. A majority
expressed support for the organization's purpose, while others questioned its
current value and effectiveness, particularly without additional partnerships
beyond the City of Schertz.
There was recognition that CVLGC could provide long-term benefits through the
acquisition, development, and management of water resources. However,
concerns remain about whether its existing structure and partnerships are
sufficient to deliver meaningful benefits to Cibolo.
Key Considerations:
CVLGC has the potential to contribute to the City's long-term water supply
strategy.
Additional partnerships may be necessary to make development financially
and operationally feasible.
The organization's future value depends on its ability to develop water
resources that benefit Cibolo.
Further evaluation of CVLGC's role, structure, and potential financial
obligations may be warranted.
Overall Assessment: Responses indicate majority support for CVLGC's purpose,
with reservations about its current ability to deliver measurable benefits to the
City.
Question 2: Do we want to retain the water rights for long-term
sustainability?
Summary of Responses:
The responses demonstrate a general preference for retaining water rights as a
means of protecting the City's long-term water supply and financial interests.
Several perspectives emphasized the potential value of the existing assets, the
favorable original acquisition cost, and the possibility that replacing these
resources in the future could be substantially more expensive.
However, there were differing opinions regarding the quantity of water rights the
City should retain. Some questioned whether maintaining access to
approximately 5,500 acre-feet is necessary when projected future demand may
be considerably lower. Estimates referenced in the responses ranged from
approximately 1,000 acre-feet after 2050 to more than 2,000 acre-feet over the
2050–2080 planning period.
There was also concern about committing additional taxpayer resources to assets
that may not be needed for several decades.
Key Considerations:
Retaining water rights may provide long-term security against rising water
acquisition costs.
Existing water rights represent assets that could appreciate in value or
provide future financial opportunities.
Updated population growth projections and water demand forecasts are
needed to determine the appropriate volume of water rights to retain.
The financial implications of maintaining, permitting, and ultimately
developing the water rights should be weighed against future alternatives.
Retaining all existing rights may not be necessary if projected demand can
be met through a smaller allocation.
Overall Assessment: A majority favor retaining water rights, although there is less
agreement regarding the amount needed and the level of additional financial
investment that would be justified.
Question 3: In pursuing additional water needs, what would be the best
and/or worst outcome of CVLGC assets and role?
Summary of Responses:
The responses consistently emphasized the importance of securing a reliable,
affordable, and sustainable water supply while protecting the City's financial
interests.
The most favorable outcome would involve successfully permitting and
developing the existing water rights, potentially through partnerships that reduce
financial exposure. Several responses identified the opportunity to generate
revenue from the assets while preserving access to water for the City's future
needs.
Other favorable outcomes included minimizing future water acquisition costs,
securing a return on the City's investment, and establishing a proactive strategy
rather than responding to a water shortage after it occurs.
The least favorable outcomes focused on failing to develop the resources,
allowing leases to expire, losing access to valuable water rights, or becoming
dependent on other providers at significantly higher costs. Concerns were also
expressed about the possibility of transferring the water assets to an entity that
may not prioritize Cibolo's future needs.
Additionally, uncertainty surrounding groundwater conservation district
regulations and permitting decisions could reduce the amount of water
ultimately available for production.
Key Considerations:
Best-case outcomes:
Successfully permit and develop water rights to meet future demand.
Identify partnerships that reduce development costs and financial risk.
Generate revenue from existing water assets while preserving future
access.
Maintain greater control over the City's long-term water supply.
Protect the City's original investment and reduce future water acquisition
costs.
Establish a proactive strategy that balances future water needs with
financial responsibility.
Worst-case outcomes:
Water leases expire before the assets are developed or otherwise utilized.
The City faces a future water shortage without adequate supply
agreements.
Alternative water supplies become significantly more expensive.
Groundwater regulations or permitting restrictions substantially reduce
available water production.
The City invests additional resources without realizing sufficient financial
or operational benefits.
Water assets are transferred to an entity that does not prioritize Cibolo's
future needs.
Overall Assessment: There is broad agreement that the City should avoid losing
the potential value of its water assets or becoming vulnerable to future shortages.
However, differing perspectives remain regarding whether the best approach is
to develop the assets, retain them for future use, establish partnerships, or
evaluate alternatives that provide comparable long-term security with less
financial risk.
