Update Regarding the Installation of a Public Sewer System in the First 17 Sections

July 15, 2018

As published in Lakeway Voice, July 2018.

Update Regarding the Installation of a Public Sewer System in the First 17 Sections (Old Lakeway Neighborhood)

As many of you know, in late February and early March, we conducted a survey to see how many homeowners in the first 17 sections of Lakeway were interested in the installation of a sewer system, allowing them the option to hook up to a public sewer line rather than continue with their existing septic tank.

To spread the word of this proposal, we sent out an e-mail to each of the affected homeowners for which we had email addresses on file, followed by a letter mailed to each address in the affected area, totaling roughly 1,000 homes. Coverage of the proposal and event dates were published on the City’s website and e-distribution list as well as being printed by Community Impact and the Austin American Statesman.

We had a total of about 165 people at the first informational meeting held in the evening of Feb. 26 and about 62 people at the morning meeting on March 1 at the Lakeway Activity Center. The surveys were due on Friday, March 9. We received 631 responses with 73% choosing Option 1 (connect now), 7% choosing Option 2 (pay reservation fee now, connect later), and 20% choosing Option 3 (not interested to connect). For more information on each choice, please visit the LMUD website.

As a reminder, this survey does not obligate the homeowner to abide by their selection; it was initiated  to help us better understand the extent of the desire for our proposed sewer system.

For this proposal to pass, we needed to present these findings to the Lakeway MUD (LMUD) Board of Directors who had final say on whether or not the project would move forward. The proposal was presented to the Board at the regularly scheduled May Board Meeting, which was held on May 9. Like all of our board meetings, this one was open to the public and held at our office, 1097 Lohmans Crossing Rd. A few affected home owners were in attendance with no opposing comments presented. The Board passed a motion moving forward with Phase 1 of the project, which means that funding has been secured for developing the infrastructure required to support Phase 1 and Phase 2, as well as connecting all houses that fall in the Phase 1 area. Phase 1 consists of about 324 houses around Live Oak Golf Course (see LMUD website for details).

Phase I Details

Phase 1 involves the installation of the main wastewater collection lines at the rear of the residential properties along the golf course, where few existing utilities and developed improvements exist. This initial phase also involves relocation and upsizing a  lift station, (L-3), which is currently located in an area with access issues for utility staff. Relocation is to a more accessible location off Flamingo Boulevard, on the west side of the airport runway. The new lift station will supply a 10-inch force main directed south and parallel the airport runway, beneath Lakeway Boulevard, and towards the West plant (S-5 Water Recycling Plant). An 8-inch gravity line will be installed to reroute flows from the old lift station (L-3) to the new lift station.

The Phase 1 project also includes plans to expand the reclaimed water system by installation of reclaimed water piping parallel to the proposed sewer piping throughout the Live Oak Golf Course, allowing conversion of the 324 homes from potable irrigation to beneficial reuse irrigation (there will be an additional cost to homeowners who choose to hookup to this reuse water system). Based on a savings of approximately 93,000 gallons per day of potable water per year, a grant from LCRA in the amount of $100,000 to help pay for the reclaimed water system extension has been approved and is pending signatures of acceptance from LMUD.

The total project cost is projected to be $7.2 million (M), with $5.8 M allocated to Phase 1 and a remaining $1.4 M to the final Phase 2 (to be approved at a later date).

Currently, we are continuing to develop a time line as to when we can begin to break ground. We will continue to keep you updated on the progress of this project; however you are  welcome to call or e-mail us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Information meetings will be scheduled in the near future once we have more details.

We ask that you please comply with the watering schedules to conserve our precious resource…WATER! Odd numbered addresses: Wednesday and Saturday, Even Numbered addresses: Thursday and Sundays, Commercial: Tuesday and Fridays. No watering is allowed between the hours of 10AAM and 7PM. We thank all of our customer base for the great cooperation we have had to date in adhering to the schedule, and we also thank those citizens who have reported violations to us, so we could respond and stop the violation and get compliance.  For additional information on water saving tips and more please visit our website.
