RESOLUTION NO. 88-1-12-88-2
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WYLIE,
TEXAS ENCOURAGING THE DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF
REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES TO SERVE THE
CITIES OF THE MUDDY CREEK BASIN.
WHEREAS, the City of Wylie believes that a regional sewage
collection and treatment facility would provide a
mechanism for the consolidation of sewage systems
in the Muddy Creek Basin; and
WHEREAS, the Collin County Commissioners Court created the
Water and Wastewater Subcommittee for the 1989-
1994 Capital Improvements Bond Program to access
projects for the County's 1988 bond election; and
WHEREAS, a finding of the subcommittee was that a county-
wide water/wastewater plants essential so as to
adequately plan for the future of the county; and
WHEREAS, the Cities of Sachse, Wylie, Murphy, St. Paul,
Lucas, Parker and parts of Rowlett in this basin
could act together so as to reduce costs and
provide for a more effective and efficient
treatment of wastewater through a regional
facility; and
WHEREAS, the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD)
currently owns and operates a regional wastewater
treatment facility (Wilson Creek Plant) near lake
Lavon that serves PIano, McKinney and parts of
Richardson and does have the statutory authority
to finance, maintain and operate a regional
wastewater treatment facility for cities in the
Muddy Creek Basin; and
WHEREAS, currently several municipally owned treatment
plants of the cities in the Muddy Creek Basin are
nearing capacity and will shortly need to act to
provide for additional wastewater treatment
facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Water Commission has encouraged cities
throughout Texas whenever possible to act together
and construct regional wastewater treatment
facilities;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS;
SECTION 1 That the Wylie City Council promotes and
encourages the development and construction of a
regional wastewater treatment facility that could
meet and serve the needs of the various cities of
the Muddy Creek Drainage Basin.
SECTION 2 Encourages the development of this facility as
soon as feasible so as to reduce the number of
municipally owned treatment plants and so as to
provide for adequate and proper treatment of
sewage from these cities to a consolidated
location that could serve all the cities in the
Muddy Creek Basin.
