Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater System will undergo rehabilitation following Round Rock City Council approving a contract with Plummer and Associates at its Nov. 7 meeting. The facility, located in Round Rock off Highway 79, is currently under design to expand its capacity.
The big picture
Round Rock oversees operations and maintenance of the regional wastewater system, which also serves Cedar Park, Leander and Austin. Plummer is currently designing the facility’s expansion, which will increase its treatment capacity from 30 million gallons per day to 40 million gallons per day.
The city of Austin and Round Rock are sharing the cost of the expansion, which will only increase capacity for the two cities.
Looking forward
Public Work Director Michael Thane said the rehabilitation work will be added to Plummers current design contract. The contract price is $1.2 million, which Round Rock is responsible for 60%, or $763,000. Leander, Cedar Park and Austin will share the remaining cost.
