BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In FY 2025, improvements were made to the Landa Park Aquatic Complex. However, due to a delay in the timeline for NBU to complete a sewer line project, the City was unable to install the planned backwash tank. Now that NBU has completed the sewer line, a connection is available to route the Olympic Pool backwash to the sanitary sewer system. Current operations have the backwash discharge going to a drain line to the Old Channel of the Comal River. New requirements from TCEQ requires an air gap between the discharge line and the sanitary sewer connection and no longer allows for direct discharge into the Comal River. This requirement requires a storage tank to provide the air gap to discharge into the sanitary sewer.
A budget amendment of $90,100 is requested to complete the remaining work, including excavation for the lines, construction of a pad for the tank, and installation of an external tank to hold backwash prior to connecting to the sewer line.
