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.
“This is basically going to serve future customers in the basin and accommodate the Old Settlers Park expansion,” Assistant Director of General Services Cory Amidon said at a July 8 agenda packet briefing.
The line, called the Chandler Creek 4 wastewater line, begins near the intersection of Rad Carew Drive and Roberto Clemente Lane, through Ryan’s Crossing subdivision and Old Settlers Park, ending south of East Old Settlers Boulevard.
If approved, SpawGlass Contractors will upsize the portion of the line within the park, and work should begin this month, Amidon said.
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.
