WilCo unveils repaired Berry Springs dam

According to a news release, improvements cost $361,240 and were completed in five months.

Freese and Nichols Inc. of Austin was the design engineering company hired to work on the dam, and Westar Construction of Georgetown completed contracting. Representatives from both businesses were present at the ribbon cutting.

Work to repair the dam was accompanied by other improvements, such as a pump added to a discovered well, which will now help the pond retain water—even during drought, Covey said.

"I couldn't be more delighted," said Linda McDaniel, widow of commissioner Tom McDaniel, who was in office when the park was built.

"I know the residents of Williamson County will also appreciate it," McDaniel said. "I'm elated Berry Springs Park was not forgotten."
