May’s regular meeting of the Bryan city council included awarding two contracts involving two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP).
One is a $179,000 dollar feasibility and cost study to design the new Brushy Creek plant to serve Bryan’s east side.
Public works director Jayson Barfknecht said the Brushy Creek plant would eventually replace the Burton Creek WWTP on the city’s south side.
Dr. Barfknecht told the council the study will give staff information about two design options. One of those design options would inject treated water into the city’s underground water aquifers for future consumption.

The Bryan council also approved a $3.3 million dollar contract to design the expansion of the Thompson’s Creek wastewater treatment plant that serves the city’s west side.
Barfknecht said the Thompson’s Creek plant currently handles one million gallons a day, the city’s current permit is for two million, and city staff will seek raising capacity to eight million gallons a day.
Mayor Bobby Gutierrez and city manager Kean Register says the expansion is extremely important for continued development in and around the RELLIS area.
