Pflugerville has restarted its river pump station after a two-week shutdown. The city continued to treat and deliver water to customers during the shutdown. The pumps were turned off on May 27 and turned back on June 10.

Repairs and Maintenance

The two-week river pump shutdown allowed crews to conduct full repairs on the existing raw waterline, finalize construction of the secondary raw waterline, and conduct essential pump maintenance. At a presentation to the council on June 9, Public Utility and Engineering Matt Rector provided updates on the waterline.

Rector said technical setbacks could necessitate a further brief system shutdown. If there is another shutdown, they may be able to work it into one of their regular down periods, and they are hoping they can time things so it will not impact the system at all.
