Buda OKs parkland for wastewater expansion

Through the use of existing parkland, Buda city leaders hope to give proposed wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) upgrades room to grow.

By a 7-0 vote June 24, the Buda City Council approved a resolution allowing the use of roughly eight combined acres of parkland ranging from City Park, Stagecoach Park and Garison Park in order to accommodate projects associated with a proposed WWTP expansion. 

However, to use the parkland, Buda was required to hold a public hearing on the matter, per Texas Parks and Wildlife rules.
