August 8, 2013 Workshop Agenda Item No. 6 Wastewater Master Plan Update – Northgate Area To: Kathy Merrill, Interim City Manager From: David Coleman, Director of Water Services Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the results of a Wastewater Master Plan Update for the Northgate area. Relationship to Strategic Goals: Core Services and Infrastructure. Recommendation: None; presented for information. Summary: The Wastewater System Master plan, as a component of the Comprehensive Plan, was approved by P&Z and Council in 2010. The master plan reflects wastewater infrastructure needed as development occurs to serve newly annexed areas, growth corridors, and existing areas where wastewater lines are in need of replacement/upsizing. The master plan also identifies major wastewater collection lines needed within the existing system that will allow the system to operate more efficiently and also abide by all TCEQ regulations. The line locations and sizes have been determined through system models produced by engineering consultants in coordination with the College Station Water Service Department. The 2010 Wastewater Master Plan anticipated modest growth in the Northgate are a, and significant growth in single-family housing on the south side of town. However, as the following years unfolded, the actual growth pattern proved to be just the opposite. In response, staff initiated an update of the Wastewater Master Plan to focus on the Northgate area, to be certain we will meet the regulatory requirements and provide excellent sewer service to this area, including all the new developments. The conclusion of the study is that we have excess wastewater system capacity to serve the Northgate developments currently in the planning process, but if development continues its current pace, we will need to start infrastructure upgrades in FY-16. Improvements will mainly be to the Hensel Park Lift Station, and to the Northeast Trunk Li ne. Staff has placed these projects into the Capital Improvement Plan, and will also recommend to Council that we do a complete update of the Wastewater Master Plan in FY-15, to improve our computer model of the water system, and to investigate other alternatives for Northgate.
