Major Water and Wastewater Facilities

Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) Hamilton Pool Road Water System

The project extended the LCRA’s Bee Cave water system out Hamilton Pool Road to serve developing areas. It included a 2 MGD potable water pump station constructed at an existing ground storage reservoir site off Hwy 71, over 18,000 linear feet of 16-inch potable waterline generally following Hamilton Pool Road to the West, a 250,000 gallon ground storage reservoir, a 2 MGD hydro-pneumatic water system at the end of the 16-inch waterline, and subsidiary projects that extended 12-inch waterlines to the south and to the west from the end of the 16-inch line. The project was let in three separate bids with additional line work change added to the original bids. The project included extensive coordination with outside environmental consultants as well as the representative for an individual conservation property that was being crossed. Special conditions were developed for restoration in environmentally sensitive areas and the design was, in numerous areas, augmented to respond to environmental concerns.

Lindell Lane 24-inch Waterline, Travis County

This is a cost reimbursement project between the City of Austin and Wild Horse Investments that consisted of approximately 8000 feet of 24-inch potable water line.  The waterline tied to a City main north of US 290 at Decker Lane, crossed US 290 and then paralleled Decker Lane to Lindell Lane where it headed cross-country to the east. The line in the area of US 290 was designed and built in stages to accommodate the TxDOT US 290/SH 130 intersection construction and included bores for crossing beneath Decker Lane and under Capital Metro railroad.  The project was bid as a City of Austin project and, upon completion, was accepted and is owned by the City of Austin.
