Surface Water Pumped

Water

Staff continues to conduct the monthly flushing program which is required by Texas

Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The program requires staff to flush each

dead end main line once a month to ensure the quality of the drinking water and

maintain the free chlorine residual in the water. In September, staff flushed 82.5 MG of

water.

Quarterly FOG Inspections

Monthly Inspection Totals/Failed Inspection Comparison

Fifty-One (51) inspections were completed this month, and of those, four (4) businesses

failed their inspections. A reduction in the number of failures each quarter will ensure the

protection of our wastewater mainlines and prevent SSO’s from occurring.

One hundred ten inspections were completed this quarter. As we move in to next

quarter, we have multiple new restaurants opening that will be added into the

inspections list.

Public Works Inspections

Wastewater Update

Public Works completed 182 inspections in the month of September. Prior to

Development Services issuing a Certificate of Occupancy, Public Works cameras the

sewer service, inspects the right-of-way, the sidewalk, and Town maintained

improvements.

Staff continues to inspect and perform maintenance on manholes and wastewater mains

throughout Town as requested by the EPA. This acts as preventative maintenance to

ensure lines are in acceptable condition and not in need of repair.

The Wastewater Department continues to clean all the lift stations once a month to

reduce pump failure and reduce backups.

Staff televised approximately 7,042.19 feet of sewer line, and responded to issues at 4221

Glacier Point Court, 4161 Glacier Point Court, 4180 Glacier Point Court, 791 Cedarlake

Drive, 841 Robison Creek Drive, 4500 West University Drive (McDonald’s), 4500

Honeyvine Lane, 2611 Bottlebrush Drive, and 811 Wright Lane.

Public Works crews have completed the new wastewater main in the alley between Sixth

Street and Seventh Street.

Streets graded the drainage easement at Whispering Farms between Broadmoor Lane

and Woodview Drive, and replaced a damaged 6” French Drain pipe. Crews cleaned the

concrete channel in the drainage ditch behind the houses on 7th Street, and spread

concrete at the wash off area at the Woodhaven Pond in Whispering Meadows.

Following the opening of Gee Road, Streets did grading work on Good Hope Road from

Windsong Parkway to Parvin Road, and performed road maintenance on Legacy Drive,

Traffic continues to work on and assess traffic signal issues and concerns, as well as

working with TXDOT on lights not belonging to the Town. The completion of the repair
