4. Pipe project to support new wastewater treatment facility in Pflugerville
The city of Pflugerville will construct an interceptor sewer pipe from a lift station to the new Wilbarger Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility. The city broke ground on the wastewater treatment facility in June.
About the project
The Wilbarger Wastewater Interceptor project is “one of the key elements for the commissioning and startup of the new wastewater plant,” Jeff Dunsworth, assistant director of Pflugerville’s utility engineering department, said at a Nov. 12 City Council meeting.
This interceptor sewer pipe will carry wastewater from the Carmel/Sorento Lift Station to Wilbarger Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility, effectively decreasing reliance on lift stations. It is made from fiberglass reinforced pipe.
