Sycamore Creek Phase 4A 4B Wastewater Improvements

The Sycamore Creek Phase 4A & 4B Wastewater Improvements project in Fort Worth represents a significant investment of approximately $11. 98 million aimed at enhancing the city's sewer infrastructure. This initiative is critical due to the existing sewer main's inadequate capacity, which serves the Sycamore Creek drainage basin and has struggled to accommodate both current residents and future developments. By constructing a sanitary sewer relief interceptor, the project seeks to prevent sanitary sewer overflows, thereby improving public health and environmental standards. Phase 4A is nearing the end of its design phase, with a completion date set for July 2027, while Phase 4B has been temporarily placed on hold, projected to conclude by February 2028.

Local residents, particularly those in the United Communities Association and Glencrest Civic League, will experience the most direct benefits from these improvements. This project is part of the Fort Worth Water Department's comprehensive strategy to combat sewer overflow challenges across the city. The initiative aligns with the city’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure development and environmental stewardship. As such, it underscores the importance of effective wastewater management in urban planning and community health.
