The details
According to Round Rock’s wastewater master plan, part of the 12-inch wastewater line running through Old Settlers Park requires upsizing to 15-inches.
“What this will serve is future customers in the basin and also accommodate all the expansion out there at Old Settlers Park going on,” Assistant Director of General Services Cory Amidon said at the July 10 meeting.
The line, called the Chandler Creek 4 wastewater line, begins near the intersection of Rad Carew Drive and Roberto Clemente Lane, goes through Ryan’s Crossing subdivision and Old Settlers Park, and ends south of East Old Settlers Boulevard.
SpawGlass Contractors will upsize the portion of the line within the park, and work should begin this month, Amidon said.
Also on the agenda
City Council approved a $217,335 contract with DigDug Construction to repair concrete at Old Settlers Park.
Some of the walkways at the park are no longer compliant with the Americans with Disabilities act due to shifting in the soil. DigDug will replace concrete areas at the baseball and softball complex, including walkways, plazas and a trail connecting the complexes.
About the project
Old Settlers Park began renovations in September. Upon completion, the park will have upgrades that include a new pavilion, stage and amphitheater, as well as a playground, expanded recreational areas, roadway renovations for safety and pedestrian crossings, pedestrian bridges, and improved sports courts.
The park spans hundreds of acres and offers a wide range of recreational activities, including disc golf, cricket, and baseball, softball and soccer facilities. Old Settlers is also home to the Rock 'N River, the Multipurpose Complex and is the venue for many city events. The build-out's expected completion is in 2027 but varies by project, according to the city.
