Department Project Title Project Number
Public Works Walker Branch Interceptor Project UT1607
Project Description
As the Transit Orientated Development (TOD) areas begin to develop it is becoming apparent that the city’s existing sanitary sewer
system needs to be upgraded. The Walker Branch Interceptor Project will consist of sanitary sewer improvements. Section one of
the project will consist of increasing the sizes of the lines from 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch to 8-inch, 12-inch and a 15-inch
respectively from Smithfield Road along Main Street to the Walker Creek and Mid-Cities Boulevard confluence. The total length of
sewer line for this section is approximately 5,500 feet. Section two consists of replacing an 18 inch and 21 inch line with a 27 inch
sewer line. The approximate length of this section of the project is 4,100 feet.

Project Justification
As the 27 mile Tex Rail Project gets closer to completion there has been more and more interest from private developers in the NRH
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Districts. Staff has reviewed several development plans proposed for these districts. One
thing that staff is discovering is that some of the sanitary sewer lines are undersized for the higher density developments being
proposed. This is especially true in the Smithfield TOD where prior to the proposed rail station this area was always planned for a
lower density. In this situation a portion of the sewer upgrade in the Smithfield area is on the city’s long term CIP plan but will now
need to be constructed sooner than we had originally planned and one portion is a direct result of the development of the TOD.
Project Status Update: Project construction is completed and staff is in process of close-out items related to the project. Staff
anticipate the project to be fully completed in FY21.
