What happened
Council approved an interlocal agreement to design the expansion and rehab of about 11,500 linear feet of a wastewater interceptor running parallel to Brushy Creek in Round Rock on Dec. 18.
The contract is only for the design of the project and will be funded by the city's utility capital improvement program budget for the 2025-26 financial year.
About the project
The expansion will provide additional capacity to service the growing population of Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater System partner cities of Austin, Cedar Park, Leander and Round Rock.
As a partner city, Cedar Park will fund a 17.7% share in the project design. The contract does not include the cost of construction to expand the wastewater line's capacity or rehab.
Did you know?
The system serving all four cities provides wastewater service through over 450 miles of collection lines.
Remember this?
The city of Round Rock also approved its share of the project costs in December.
