HUTTO — One developer’s plans for a neighborhood sewage treatment plant on Limmer Loop have gone down the drain thanks to intercity cooperation. Hutto City Council worked with the city of Round Rock to achieve a solution for wastewater needs, negating the need for a package plant that would have pushed treated sewage through an open ditch by an elementary school.
“It’s a great partnership. We both have these growing pains and together we can handle some of these issues and concerns,” Council member Amberley Kolar said of the collaborative solution.
The new neighborhood, which will sit in front of Veterans Hill Elementary School on Limmer Loop, was previously in Hutto’s extraterritorial jurisdiction but petitioned for de-annexation. Although the city denied the request, per Senate Bill 2038 it was effectively released from the ETJ after a 45-day waiting period.
