The City of Fair Oaks Ranch took a significant step forward in its wastewater treatment plant expansion project during the December 5, 2024, City Council meeting. Council members approved a work authorization for engineering services, allowing the project to move from the 30% design phase to final design, bid, and construction phases.

The approved expenditure of $604,906 is within the city’s budget and will enable the completion of the final design by September 2025. This timeline sets the stage for the project to be advertised in the fall of 2025, with construction anticipated to begin in early 2026.

City officials expressed confidence in the proposal presented by Grant, who received praise for his thorough presentation. The council's unanimous approval reflects a commitment to enhancing the city's wastewater infrastructure, ensuring it meets future demands.

As the project progresses, residents can expect updates on the timeline and construction plans, marking a crucial development for Fair Oaks Ranch's environmental and public health initiatives.
