Agreement with TranSystems Corporation Consultants to conduct site evaluation of a Water Reclamation
Facility operating within Mary's Creek drainage basin west of Loop 820 West. The evaluation processes
resulted in three preferred sites for further detailed review and assessment.
On February 9, 2010, the three finalist sites were made public during a presentation to the City Council's
Infrastructure and Transportation Committee. Since then, the Water Department has conducted numerous
public outreach efforts with neighborhood groups and other organizations in the area, along with an open
house on April 7, 2010, a special neighborhood meeting on June 7, 2010 and meetings with Chapel Creek
and Lost Creek Neighborhood Associations. These outreach efforts have not only presented facts and
information to the public, but also generated feedback from citizens and stakeholders. Based on
comments from citizens and other stakeholders and the evaluation of additional information related to
