Regional water project a step closer to nish line A project to draw water from the deepest parts of Lake Travis to supply the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority—which serves, Cedar Park, Round Rock and Leander—has marked another step forward, with crews completing upgrades to the raw waterline along Trails End Road, according to an update from the city of Leander Feb. 5. Once completed, the BCRUA’s Raw Water Intake project will have the capacity to pump 145 million gallons of raw water from the lake per day. The project is meant to help the three cities meet future water demands by providing a stable source year-round and making each city's water supply more resilient in times of drought. The gist The deep water intake project, which began in 2022, includes the construction of a 2-mile pipe- line delivering water from intake screens to a new

The outlook Both Phase 2 and Phase 2A of the project is expected to nish by the summer of 2027. Mean- while, the organization is planning for Phase 3 of the water system, which will expand the BCRUA’s water treatment plant to have a capacity for 106 MGD per day, although a timeline for the project hasn’t been determined.

Flood alert system gets $1M boost A grant from the Texas Water Develop- ment Board could allow Williamson County ocials to purchase and install $1 million in ood-warning equipment in areas vulnera- ble to ash oods. What happened Commissioners approved the grant agreement Feb. 10. The funding is expected to provide outdoor warning sirens, ood gauges and sensors as well as communication software testing training, Emergency Management Director Bruce Clements said. “It’s really looking at a holistic system,” Clements said. TWDB is administering the funds pursu- ant to SB 3 and SB 5 which awarded ood prevention grants to 30 counties.
“If there’s one thing this council always agrees on, it’s that we need to be smarter about how we use water in our city, and this is a Cedar Park wins grant for reclaimed water system The Lower Colorado River Authority, or LCRA, awarded a $100,000 grant to the city of Cedar Park to help fund improvements to the city’s reclaimed water system. LCRA water conservation coordina- tor Stacy Pandey presented a check to City Council at its Feb. 12 meeting. The project
prime example of listening to feedback we get from our citizens and drawing on [sta] expertise,” JIM PENNIMANMORIN, CEDAR PARK MAYOR
Eric Rauschuber, the city’s director of public works and utilities, said a project to expand the production capacity of the reclaimed water sys- tem and use it to irrigate local parks is currently in the design process. This is the rst phase of an eort to rehabilitate and expand the city’s water reclamation facility, city documents show. Last year, city ocials approved contracts working toward the facility’s expansion, according to previous Community Impact reporting. The grant comes from the LCRA Firm Water Conservation Cost-Share Program, which aims to reduce reliance on the Highland Lakes water supply
by helping fund projects that conserve and reuse water, according to the organization’s website. Today, the city’s water reclamation facility treats about 2.5 million gallons of wastewater per day, according to Rauschuber. He explained that the water is used for public works activities like sewer pipe cleaning and street sweeping, as well as for irrigation of Brushy Creek Sports Park.

2026 bond eyed for high school modernization The Leander ISD board of trustees discussed the possibility of a 2026 bond Feb. 19 that could fund the next phase of modernization projects at Leander High School. Diving in deeper Phase 1 began in 2024 and includes additions and modernizations to the athletic facilities and performance art center, funded by the 2023 bond. Work is expected to be completed this summer. Phase 2 funding is contingent upon a Novem- ber bond, if called by the board of trustees and approved by voters. LISD ocials said Phase 2 would be split into two parts and, based on a preliminary timeline, could begin in 2027 and be wrapped up by summer 2031.

Election
KEY: *Incumbent
What will be your top priorities if you are elected? My priorities are strengthening public safety, expanding our road and trail network, securing long- term water supply, expanding economic opportunity, but most of all, building a more closely-connected community. I will continue keeping taxes low while investing responsibly in infrastructure that supports a thriving and vibrant [community] for decades to come. My top priority is restoring integrity and trust in local government. That means a city that follows its own policies, operates transparently, and is accountable to residents. I also want to ensure concerns are addressed promptly and decisions are made openly and fairly.
What do you see as the greatest challenge facing Cedar Park, and how will you address it? Managing and sustaining growth while enhancing our quality of life is both our biggest challenge and opportunity. We address it through proactive planning - expanding roads and trails, securing water supply, hiring more rst responders, and attracting great career opportunities. Growth can and should strengthen our community, not strain it.

Cedar Park’s rapid growth has outpaced how the government operates. As the city has grown more complex, leadership practices must grow with it. I will focus on clear processes, transparency, and accountability so the city government applies rules consistently, earns trust, and keeps pace with the community.

What do you see as the greatest challenge facing Cedar Park, and how will you address it? Cedar Park is a land-locked community. Cedar Park [may] only be 26 square miles, with 85,000 residents and 53 years old, [but] with pressures coming from the state, continued populational growth, funding and limited water resources we must remain disciplined and patient in our approach to nishing out the remaining 15% of buildable land.
What will be your top priorities if you are elected? To continue to build on the great work of past leaders. Support police, re & emergency services, maintain city infrastructure like high quality roads and trails, continue to support water and other utilities. Maintain Cedar Park AAA bond rating. Support economic development and business growth.

Mel Kirkland* Occupation & experience: Semi- retired: owner Kirkland Consulting LLC; 21 year resident of Cedar Park.

My top priorities are responsible growth, public safety, and infrastructure readiness. That means disciplined budgeting, fully staed police and re, proactive tra c improvements, and ensuring water and utility systems keep pace with development. Growth is coming, we must plan early so Cedar Park grows stronger, not strained.
Our greatest challenge is managing rapid growth without losing aordability, safety, or quality of life. I will address it through long-term infrastructure planning, prioritizing tra c safety improvements, and maintaining scal discipline so we invest wisely instead of reacting too late.
Darron Jurajda Occupation & experience: Director of Business Operations; 25-year resident, business operations professional, and city and school district committee ... www.dj4cedarpark.com
What will be your top priorities if you are elected? My top priority is maintaining public safety by ensuring we have well-trained rst responders and mental health support services. As the city grows and redevelops, I will support local employment and business to keep sales tax money in the city, safer roadways designs, and expanding trails and green spaces.
What do you see as the greatest challenge facing Cedar Park, and how will you address it? The challenges I hear the most from people are mobility-related. I will prioritize safety over roadway speed (especially in neighborhoods!), ensure that the city government takes best practices from other cities to implement here, provide seniors with transportation options, and build wider, safer sidewalks that encourage active mobility.
Cedar Park City Council, Place 4
Michael Endres Occupation & experience: Police Lieutenant, Parks and Trails Foundation of Cedar Park Board Member, Marine Corps Veteran www.mike4cedarpark.com
Cedar Park residents value aordability and quality of life, which are my key priorities. As the city grows and taxes rise, collaboration with the city, partners, and stakeholders is essential to manage resources eectively. This teamwork will help maintain a vibrant community where people can work, live, and play.
Cedar Park has limited open space for new development; let's use our resources wisely. Costly infrastructure modernization – roads, water, sewer, and power – requires long-term planning across a myriad of county, state, and federal agencies. My urban planning background will support city sta and master planning eorts.
Kevin O’Bryan Occupation & experience: 20yr Cedar Park resident; Master’s in Urban Planning and Policy (Management & Finance Specialization) UI-Chicago www.obryancampaign.com
What will be your top priorities if you are elected? Manage growth responsibly, keep public safety staed and equipped, and ensure roads and mobility investments lead development. I will advocate for infrastructure-rst growth, careful evaluation of development decisions, and scal discipline to protect residents. I’ll strengthen coordination with schools and support local small businesses to preserve Cedar Park’s safety and character.
What do you see as the greatest challenge facing Cedar Park, and how will you address it? The biggest challenge is managing rapid growth without eroding mobility, infrastructure, and emergency response. We need infrastructure-rst planning: roads, drainage, water capacity, and public safety sta ng built alongside development. I’ll insist on data-driven projections, transparent decisions, and disciplined budgeting, so Cedar Park stays safe, livable, and nancially strong every year. Cedar Park is shifting from rapid growth to near build-out. The challenge is managing infrastructure and core services while spending responsibly. I’ll focus on long-term planning for water, roads, police, and re, and on a balanced revenue approach beyond property taxes.

BY GRACE DICKENS & BEN THOMPSON
UT Medical Center shifts from downtown to Northwest Austin
Diving in deeper
What’s next
Nearly 400 acres of UT land in North Austin is set to be rezoned for research and science uses, a move that would clear the way for the future UT Medical Center’s development in Northwest Austin. First announced in 2023, the new medical center includ- ing a UT hospital and MD Anderson Cancer Center is envisioned as a multibillion-dollar addition to UT’s academic health system. The project was originally planned for the former Frank Erwin Center site on 19 acres of UT Austin’s downtown campus o I-35. Further details about the medical center project, such as its exact location or scope, haven’t been released as of early 2026. For now, UT is seeking to rezone several of its properties near The Domain, including the Pickle campus, specically for research and science uses. Eltife said the UT Medical Center would be situ- ated west of the Pickle campus. University-owned land in that area includes The Shops at Arbor Walk retail plaza, an oce building at Braker Lane and
MoPac, and undeveloped land o Braker and Stonelake Boulevard. Those properties cover about 374 acres and are all included in the zoning case moving through city reviews. Austin’s Planning Commission advanced the rezoning item Feb. 24, and City Council is now scheduled to consider the request in late March. A UT representative declined to comment about the zoning case or its impact on the medical center project after the commission’s vote. The current process covers ve tracts that currently hold industrial, institutional and mixed- use zoning. The change would label them all as Research and Sciences Mixed Use, or RSMU, in the area’s North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan. The zoning case is progressing as UT Austin embarks on its rst campus master plan initiative in over a decade, a project aimed at “building cohesive connections” between the main downtown campus and other properties, according to the university’s Feb. 23 announcement.
The medical center still plans to open in 2030, despite the new location, and will still be in partnership with MD Anderson. There are currently no plans for the Erwin Center site, Eltife said.
O cials conrmed Feb. 18 that the University of Texas Medical Center will be located in Northwest Austin rather than at the former Erwin Center site downtown. “As our two institutions continued to work collaboratively over the last year, it became apparent that the proposed Erwin Center location would not be as conducive to the fully integrated, patient-centered approach that was being envisioned, and there would be limits to future growth on that,” UT Board of Regents chairman Kevin Eltife said at a Feb. 18 board meeting. The new site, anchored by Dell Medical School, will be located west of the J.J. Pickle Research Campus on university-owned land in Northwest Austin, although a specic site was not conrmed. Of the several university-owned plots of land in the area, one holds The Shops at Arbor Walk, while another has part of the Braker Lane Crossing shopping center.
