Mission project to finish $2.5 million Tierra Dorada sewer upgrade in June, co‑interim city manager says

Co‑interim City Manager Juan Pablo Terrazas said the City of Mission expects to complete the Tierra Dorada sewer improvement project in June and that crews have been working on it for about a year and a half. “We have been working on this project for the last year and a half,” Terrazas said.

The project has a budget of $2.5 million, Terrazas said, and the mayor and city council allocated the funds to improve sewer infrastructure in Tierra Dorada. “It’s a $2,500,000 project that the mayor on council allocated the monies to improve the sewer in Tierra Dorada,” he said.

Terrazas described the scope of work: the city is decommissioning two existing lift stations, installing a new lift station and running a new gravity sewer line to an area identified in the remarks as Los Evanos. “There’s 2 lift stations that we’re decommissioning and putting a brand new lift station and running a brand new gravity line going all the way to Los Evanos,” he said, adding that excavators are on site installing the new lift station.

Terrazas thanked city leadership and residents for their cooperation, saying the council had worked diligently on the project and asking citizens for continued patience during construction. “I wanna thank our mayor and city council for working diligently on this project. But most importantly, I wanna thank our citizens for being supportive and also for their collaboration and patience on this project,” he said.

Terrazas closed by assuring the public that staff are focused on completing infrastructure improvements. “I want you to rest assured that we're working very hard and improving our infrastructure projects,” he said.
