The North Texas Municipal Water District held a virtual information meeting Sept. 3 about a 6.4-mile project along the Wilson Creek corridor. The project would extend from south of SH 380 and Ridge Road to the Wilson Creek Lift Station near the former McKinney landfill.

The water district’s service area is seeing “significant growth,” officials said, and in order to meet the service demands of the community, a new transfer sewer pipeline is needed through McKinney up toward Prosper. The sewer transfer pipeline project will serve the long-term needs of McKinney and avoid future projects in the Wilson Creek corridor while also restoring existing city sewer capacity for McKinney, officials said during the Sept, 3 presentation.

The project is currently in the design phase, but construction is slated to start spring 2021 and finish in fall 2023.

The first phase of the project will launch in spring 2021. The project will move through the former golf course off Eldorado Parkway and skirt the edge of the residences of Barranca Way.

Officials said they are expecting “minimal impact” to this neighborhood while “avoiding major traffic disruptions along Eldorado Parkway.”
