College Station City Council will decide Sept. 10 whether to grant up to $33 million for a wastewater filtration infrastructure improvement project for Carter's Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The overview
Part of the Wastewater Capital Improvement Projects fund, the project's goal is to install a new cloth system, UV disinfection systems and new pumps for enhanced water filtration, according to agenda material for the upcoming city council meeting.
The project is part of the 2016 Wastewater Master Plan to replace unreliable and underperforming infrastructure in the city's water treatment facilities for long-term dependability and reliability. Carter’s Creek–along with the Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant–are the two facilities in College Station, both regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The $33 million project will be awarded to CSA Construction, Inc. if the council votes to go forward with the proposal.
City Council member Bob Yancy told Community Impact the council has been actively working on this measure and keeping College Station’s water clean is always a priority.
Also on the agenda
The council will vote on various contracts for city and professional services, including the addition of a specialized construction inspector to provide technical oversight for various projects for $1.4 million, along with contracts for construction, pump repair and hazard assessment totaling over $100,000 each.
The council will also hear updates from the College Station Utilities Electric Department, Terafab, Bass Pro Shops and the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife regarding updates on Texas Independence Park.
As previously reported by Community Impact, the park started construction in summer 2026 and is projected to finish by the end of 2027.
Get involved
College Station City Council will meet at 6 p.m. Sept. 10 at City Hall, 1101 Texas Ave.
