The Fulshear City Council convened on July 15, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, with a primary focus on the expansion of the downtown water reclamation facility.
The meeting began with a review of the previously discussed agreement regarding the expansion project. City officials confirmed that the partially executed agreement had been circulated via email, clarifying that the document included the necessary signatures. However, it was noted that an outdated bid document should have been removed from the agenda to avoid confusion, as it was not updated in time for the meeting.
The council discussed plans to expand the downtown wastewater treatment plant's capacity from 700,000 gallons per day to 1.1 million gallons per day. This expansion will occur in two phases: the first phase involves leasing equipment that will be fabricated on-site, while the second phase will include a separate bid for civil work to prepare the site and connect the necessary infrastructure.
A significant point of discussion was the lease agreement with AUC, which does not allow for early termination without incurring substantial costs. City officials explained that the option for an early buyout was not feasible, as historical data suggested that such buyouts yield minimal financial return.
The meeting concluded with a consensus on the importance of moving forward with the expansion project to enhance the city's wastewater treatment capabilities. Further discussions and decisions regarding the civil work bid are expected in future meetings.
