Pflugerville approves $80M in bonds for water pipeline, treatment plant upgrades

Pflugerville City Council unanimously approved two ordinances authorizing more than $80 million in certificates of obligation bonds to fund major water infrastructure improvements, including a secondary raw water pipeline and upgrades to the city’s water treatment plant.

The bonds will be sold to the Texas Water Development Board, allowing the city to secure interest rates significantly lower than those available on the public market.

The details: The approved bond packages include:

  • $52.93 million in Combination Tax and Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2026A
  • $27.18 million in Series 2026B certificates of obligation
The series 2026A bond provides final funding for the city’s Secondary Colorado River Raw Water Line project, which includes about 15 miles of pipeline and a pump station expansion, as well as upgrades to the water treatment plant and related infrastructure.
