Georgetown City Council authorized officials to send a notice of default to contractor Cekra Inc. for defective work on the Austin Avenue Bridge Rehabilitation project and demand repairs, according to a city update March 26.

What happened: Georgetown officials discovered water pooling on the Austin Avenue vehicular bridge as a result of poor contractor work, the update states.

The project engineer outlined the corrective actions needed for the contractor to review, but the contractor did not offer a solution in a “timely manner,” according to the city.

About the project:  The $12.7 million project, funded by the 2021 voter-approved mobility bond, aims to address the structural repairs, as well as safety upgrades and drainage improvements.

What they’re saying: “At this time, we cannot provide any additional details as we work through the contractual issues with the contractor,” the update states. “Once a resolution is reached, the city will provide more details on the timeline for completing the remainder of the project.”

Williamson County commissioners adopted the Atlas 14 Floodplain Mapping Study March 24, which identifies flood-prone areas to guide growth and development in the county, as well as helps reduce flood risk, according to county documents.

How it works: The Atlas 14 study identifies flood-prone areas using updated scientific rainfall data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as well as topographical information.

Williamson County will use the study for drainage and floodplain management in unincorporated areas of the county, according to a news release.

The Texas Water Development Board accepted the study in 2025, and with recent court approval, the study can regulate the floodplains and enforce permits for encroachment.

The impact: In the past decade, Williamson County has experienced severe flooding, including in 2010, 2015 and 2017. Most recently, deadly floods over the July 4, 2025, weekend devastated parts of the county.
