Overview

  • Calfee Middle School remains without water after Willis ISD and the City of Conroe failed to finalize a multi-million-dollar infrastructure agreement.
  • The Conroe City Council scheduled a special meeting for 10 a.m. Saturday to negotiate terms of the cost-sharing deal.
  • Without fire-protection water for sprinklers and hydrants, Montgomery County Fire Marshal Jimmy Williams cannot issue the occupancy certificate required for legal school opening.
  • Willis ISD owes about $4 million in infrastructure fees to Conroe, roughly $2 million of which covers the new middle school’s water system costs.
  • Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough has accused Conroe staff of extortion over the fee demand and warned of legal referrals if misconduct is found.
