7 issues in environment
Water Infrastructure and City Spending
Pflugerville is reviewing proposed water and wastewater rate studies to manage upcoming capital costs, growth projections, and debt coverage requirements. Residents face potential rate adjustments as the city balances infrastructure needs with impact fee offsets and fund balance contributions.
Floodplain Management and Map Changes
Piccadilly Park, originally a 2020 bond project, was found to be largely unsuited for vertical park development due to severe floodplain constraints and wastewater easements. Public works moved up drainage improvements upstream, which will help homes off the floodplain and allow for a future trailhead connection.
Water Supply and Conservation
City staff reported that lake levels are stable and Pflugerville has returned to regular twice-a-week watering conservation efforts while raw water pipeline repairs continue.
Wilbarger Creek Wastewater Discharge
Residents and environmental advocates urged the city to adopt stricter treatment standards and modern technology for wastewater treatment plants discharging into Wilbarger Creek to prevent nutrient pollution and fish kills.
Lake Pflugerville water level
Great news for anglers – Lake Pflugerville is full again! While you can cast your line, swimming and boating are still on hold. We're also sticking with Stage 3 water restrictions for now.
Water Supply and Restrictions
Pflugerville is still under water restrictions because Lake Pflugerville is super low and some pipes have busted. Basically, we all need to keep saving water until things get better.
Water Supply Disruption
Heads up, Pflugerville! A pipeline break means your water supply is disrupted, and the city is urging everyone to conserve. Get ready to cut back on usage until it's fixed!
