The Village expects to put the construction of the sewer system out for bid in September once final approval comes from Texas Historical Commission for the proposed final lines and sewer locations.

This will allow the Village to complete construction of the collection system by October 2017. Construction of the treatment plant itself will also be complete by October 2017, according to the latest time-lines from village engineering firm Kasberg Patrick Associates.

After the collection system is built, the Village will spend November 2017-January 2018 connecting septic systems and transferring sewer services, according to the time-line, which was most recently updated on June 20.

The Village submitted documents to Texas Department of Transportation on March 25 and govt initial approval on April 28. Additional submittals and amendments were made in late April and May.

KPA and Village staff met with THC on June 2. The Historic Commission requested additional investigations and digs at three to four separate locations. The process is expected to be complete with approvals by the send of September.

With the approval by THC, the Village expects the Corps of Engineers approval to come by the end of September as well.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will review final plans in July and August. The Economic Development Administration will review final plans for its $1 million grant in July-September.
