Analysis
The City is receiving a loan from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for the replacement/rehab of the Fargo Street Outfall Wastewater Line which transports raw wastewater from parts of the City's wastewater collection system to the Trinity River Authority's (TRA's) Mountain Creek Interceptor Line for subsequent treatment at the TRA Central Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The TWDB loan, which is not to exceed $2,285,000, is classified as a "green project" and therefore features 15% loan principal forgiveness.
This project is necessary to remedy periodic wastewater outflows from the City's wastewater system due to under capacity of the existing line.
