Council authorizes rights acquisitions and rights-of-entry for two wastewater-interceptor projects
Summary
Council authorized staff to acquire necessary property interests and to seek rights-of-entry—including by petition or injunction where necessary—for the Southeast Loop and Brushy Creek wastewater interceptor projects, approving related resolutions and delegations to the city attorney and manager.
The Hutto City Council on April 3 authorized acquisition steps and rights-of-entry for two wastewater interceptor projects that are part of the city's CIP: the Southeast Loop Wastewater Interceptor (WW10) and the Brushy Creek Wastewater Interceptor Phase 4 (WW11). Council also approved resolutions delegating authority to the city attorney and manager to pursue acquisitions and rights-of-entry as needed.
For the Southeast Loop project (WW10) the council authorized staff to pursue acquisitions from specified parcels (Big Sky Capital parcels 29 through 6; WMV Hutto 390 DE, LLC partial parcels 79 and 8; and 3349 Business Holdings, LLC partial parcels 119 through 13). For the Brushy Creek Phase 4 project (WW11) council authorized rights-of-entry and, if necessary, petitions for injunctions to secure access to parcels identified in executive session. The council instructed the city attorney to complete documentation and the city manager to coordinate acquisition actions.
Why it matters: Both interceptor projects form part of the city's wastewater conveyance network; necessary easements, rights-of-way and temporary access are required to build and maintain trunk infrastructure. Council said securing property interests in a timely manner will keep projects on schedule and reduce construction delays.
Actions and votes: Council voted unanimously on the acquisition delegations (authorizing the city attorney and manager to pursue acquisitions and rights-of-entry) and on the related resolution (RDash2025Dash086) authorizing rights-of-entry and injunction petitions if necessary.
What's next: Staff and the city attorney will finalize transactional documents and coordinate with affected property owners and the city's project managers to secure the rights needed for design and construction.
