City officials marked the groundbreaking of the expansion of Austin's largest wastewater plant at an April 14 ceremony.

The details: The more than $1 billion expansion will boost the plant's wastewater treatment capacity by 33%, from 75 million gallons daily to 100 MGD by the early 2030s. Hundreds of millions of dollars more are also being spent to improve and modernize other parts of the facility, which will remain operational throughout several years of construction.

Some projects are expected to be completed in the late 2020s, and the 25 MGD capacity increase will be completed by mid-2030. All expansion and modernization initiatives will be completed by late 2032.

In total, major expansion and modernization contracts total more than $1.8 billion including a $600 million increase approved earlier this year. Some of that will be covered through local utility revenue, and millions of dollars in state and federal support also anticipated.
