The primary improvement is replacement of the 50-year-old standpipe (Augusta Standpipe) located near the District’s main office at Venture Drive and Augusta Drive. The structure has had multiple repairs for leaks over the last several years and is well past its useful life expectancy. Additional improvements that the bond money would finance include rehabilitating a transfer pump station and elevated water storage tank, water and sewer line improvements, and reclaimed water and drainage improvements. The District must adhere to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requirements and address fire flow availability, operational deficiencies and aging infrastructure.
