STATE PROJECTS
Gilleland Creek TMDL
Scope of Work: Improve water quality of Gilleland Creek.
Status: The EPA and TCEQ have deemed a bacterial impairment on Gilleland Creek. This
impairment means that bacteria levels in Gilleland Creek exceed the standard threshold as set by
the Federal and State governments. To date, TCEQ has adopted a report characterizing the water
quality levels of Gilleland Creek. This report has determined that there needs to be a 90%
reduction in bacteria levels of Gilleland Creek in order to meet Federal and State thresholds. This
report also has determined the primary source of the bacteria levels is the first ½-inch of rainfall
during a storm (‘first flush’). At this time stakeholders, municipalities, and interested parties are
developing an implementation plan to improve the water quality of Gilleland Creek. TCEQ is
working to adopt this impairment plan by the spring of 2008. Following its adoption, the EPA
will determine if Federal restrictions will be placed on Gilleland Creek.

Curb Scraping and Crack Sealing Project
Scope: Remove weeds in curb line. Crack seal after weed removal to deter re-growth and to keep
water from cracks. In place of herbicide, we have begun using a weed burner, then crack sealing.

Water and Wastewater Rate Study
Scope: Prepare and provide data and information necessary to Water Resources Management,
LP (WRM) to complete a water and wastewater rate analysis. WRM reviewed the rates in the

rates again.
Status: The study has been delayed further by the development of the FY 2010 budget. The
addition of wholesale water customers and the demands those customers will put on the system
requires refinement of the water treatment and distribution budgets. Also, a review of the five
year CIP for the Utility Fund has necessitated the updating of that document to reflect current
demands. Work on the FY 2010 budget should be completed during July.
