Water pipeline project in Leander begins
The water pipeline repairs for the City of Leander have officially begun.
LEANDER, Texas - The City of Leander said their Brushy Creek Treatment Plant is now closed for repairs.
The Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority Water Treatment Plant was shut down on Monday, Feb. 26. It is the City of Leander's primary source of potable water.
Contractors are replacing more than 1,000 feet of submerged pipeline. This means the city is now running on less than half of its normal treatment capacity.
