Pflugerville mayor announces more than $1 billion plan to expand water and wastewater capacity
Summary
Mayor Victor Gonzales said the city will invest more than $1,000,000,000 over five years to expand water treatment, add a second wastewater plant and build a Colorado River waterline to secure future growth.
Mayor Victor Gonzales, Mayor of Pflugerville City, announced a multiyear water and wastewater investment during the Pflugerville Chamber of Commerce State of the City event.
"That's why we're making the largest investment in our city's history, more than $1,000,000,000 over the next 5 years to secure Pflugerville's water future," Mayor Victor Gonzales said. He said the plan includes expanding water treatment plant capacity, building a second wastewater plant and introducing a new Colorado River waterline.
The mayor framed the projects as foundational to continued residential and commercial growth, saying work aims to ensure "homes, schools, and industries have the water they need to flourish." He tied the investments to broader city priorities of transportation and infrastructure identified in the city's community survey.
