A city council vote has brought land near Chalk Bluff within city limits, sparking concerns about a potential wastewater treatment plant. The land was purchased in 2023 with this possibility in mind. Residents are worried about the impact on the Brazos River, as a treatment plant could discharge upstream of various facilities.
City leaders have clarified that this vote does not approve a wastewater treatment plant and that further discussions are needed. No funding has been secured for such a project, and many more meetings will take place before a decision is made.
