To satisfy the Development Agreement with K.B. Homes, the City hired Freese & Nichols to design a reuse waterline to supply the Freeman Tract, located just south of the East Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) across Brushy Creek, with Type 1 Reuse Water. It is the developer's intention to use reuse water for irrigation of a park and the entrance landscaping, as well as for landscaping along Forest Ridge Drive. The subdivision and park are currently under design and will soon go to construction. The Agreement states that the City's goal to complete the construction of the Reuse Waterline is January 2014.
This project will take Type 1 Reuse Water from the Reuse Facility High Service pumps, around the East WWTP, and then across Brushy Creek to the Freeman Tract. This contract will consist of 945 linear feet of 12 inch and 794 linear feet of 8 inch PVC and Ductile Iron Reuse Water Pipe. The total length of the pipeline is 1,739 feet. As part of the the construction, the project will also tie into and deliver Type 1 Reuse Water to an existing line feeding reuse water to Forest Creek Golf Course.
