Site work for a water / sewer project in Lago Vista, Texas. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

As part of our Effluent Disposal Permit the City isn't permitted to discharge Type 2 effluent into Lake Travis, and the City is also required to install a 3rd effluent storage pond in its system once the City reaches 0.75 MGD of wastewater. As many are well aware of, there is a leak in Effluent Pond 17's liner causing direct discharge of effluent into Lake Travis. To repair this liner, the City must build the 3rd effluent pond. Once this 3rd effluent pond is built, Lago Vista Golf Course will be able to install their own independent pump station for their irrigation system. As presented at the June 15, 2023 Council Meeting, the estimated construction cost for Pond #17's rehabilitation is $2.2 million, and the estimated construction cost for Pond #2 is $2.0 million. Freese & Nichols have provided a cost for engineering services which is $438,000. Some of this project may be carried over into FY-25. These two projects will be bid at the same time, and after Pond #2 is complete, they will begin rehabbing Pond #17. These projects are ineligible for Impact Fee Funds. The project is included in the City's 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of July 17, 2024, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
