The Plano City Council voted unanimously to allocate roughly $16 million for significant upgrades to the local wastewater infrastructure. The project focuses on a 7,000-foot stretch of sewer line located along West Plano Parkway. This decision was finalized during a council meeting held on May 12.
City documents indicate that the primary goal of the construction is to expand the system's ability to handle wastewater flow. Officials state that the improvements are designed to stop sewage from backing up into homes and businesses. The current infrastructure is described as insufficient for the volume of waste it currently processes.
Caleb Thornhill, the city’s engineering director, explained the necessity of the project to council members. He noted that the existing pipe is too small for the present volume of flow. The proposed work involves replacing the old line with a larger one to match current demands.
Plano is situated approximately 12 miles southeast of Frisco. The city has not yet provided a timeline for when construction will begin or how long the project will take to complete. Further details regarding the specific contractors or the exact start date are not yet clear.
