PROJECT NAME:Delaware Creek Lift Station and 15-inch Wastewater Line
LOCATION:Burnet, Texas
OWNER:City of Burnet
YEAR COMPLETED:2007
CONSTRUCTION COST:$380,320
OWNER REPRESENTATIVE:Crista Goble Bromley, Director of Economic Development

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

 

The Delaware Creek Lift Station and 15-inch Wastewater Line Project involved replacing an older, deteriorated, and undersized lift station with 1,570 feet of 15-inch gravity line and a new larger and expandable 800 gpm lift station pumping 11,600 feet directly to the Burnet WWTP. Construction included a valve vault, covered control panel, fencing, electrical, and related site work.

The lift station and 15-inch wastewater line are located in the Burnet Delaware Springs Golf Course and along Delaware Creek upstream of U.S. Highway 281. The expanded capacity of the 15-inch gravity sewer and new Delaware Creek Lift Station enable Burnet to serve the residential growth occurring in the Delaware Springs Ranch subdivision around the golf course. TCE ensured that care was taken to maintain the natural beauty, integrity and functionality of the riparian zones, golf course grounds, and cart paths while creating a natural hiking trail along Delaware Creek within the gravity line easement. Space and piping for a third, future pump enables Burnet a low cost expansion option as growth continues in the recreational subdivision.

The old deteriorated lift station was demolished, the existing lift station influent line was connected to the new larger 15-inch gravity line, and the new, larger, attractive submersible pump lift station was constructed at a lower elevation father downstream. The result is an increase in both the potential service area and system capacity for the future while maintaining the quality of the golf course facilities and adding an appealing hiking trail along Delaware Creek.
