Court authorizes bid advertising for East Kerr County wastewater Phase 4, estimates ~$1.1–1.2M
Summary
Commissioners authorized advertising for bids on Phase 4 of the East Kerr County Centerpoint wastewater collection project, a smaller phase to complete hookups, minor extensions and lift‑station repairs with an estimated cost around $1.1–1.2 million.
The Commissioners Court approved a motion to authorize advertising for bids on Phase 4 of the East Kerr County Centerpoint wastewater collection project.
Tetra Tech representatives said Phase 4 primarily ties up incomplete work from prior phases, allows some residents to connect to the system, includes a few minor line extensions and addresses lift‑station improvements and odor control. The presenter estimated the total cost at roughly $1.1–$1.2 million, substantially smaller than earlier phases.
Commissioners discussed whether some repairs might be eligible for FEMA funding and asked project engineers to clarify which items could be covered under other funding streams. The court authorized bid advertising unanimously and encouraged attention to resident hookup opportunities.
Why it matters: The project extends sewer access to additional residents and addresses infrastructure damage from prior events; the phase aims to complete outstanding items and improve reliability of the system.
