Duck Creek Interceptor Project
The first phase of the wastewater system upgrade is underway. The City of Garland is constructing the new interceptor system to provide enough capacity to handle expected growth in the City. The $41.4 million Duck Creek Interceptor Project will transport wastewater to the Duck Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The entire project will take 18 months to complete and will handle future wastewater flow volumes for the ultimate build-out of residential and business development in the City of Garland. The project is a cooperative effort between the City of Garland, the Texas Water Development Board, the U.S. Corps of Engineers, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department, the Town of Sunnyvale, the Garland Parks Board and Parks Department, and individual landowners.
