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.

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.

May’s flooding rains are not recharging underground aquifers. Alan Day at the Brazos Valley groundwater conservation district (BVGCD) says it is typical that in the district’s eight aquifers, if it rains between 37 and 40 inches, five inches will reach the aquifer. Day says what the rains have done, has reduced the amount of water being pumped for irrigating crops and lawns. As for irrigating lawns, Day reminds Brazos County homeowners to get the Brazos Valley Water Smart website to know when to run irrigation systems. Click HERE to be directed to the website that is funded by the conservation district, which shows zones where watering is and is not needed.

The week after College Station ISD school board members interrupted public speakers who identified a teacher they were criticizing, a special meeting is held to discuss board policy and operational procedures. The CSISD board decided to require pre-registration of public speakers by 10 a.m. the day before a board meeting. Two board members brought up not being able to respond to some public comments. State law prevents elected officials from responding to items that are not on the meeting agenda. Superintendent Tim Harkrider added that the pre-registration gives an opportunity for administrators to explain in advance of meetings the district’s policies and procedures to public speakers. Board members and administrators also reviewed public comments during the May 21st regular meeting that were critical of the teacher and the district’s current policies and procedures for complaints and grievances.
