Additional Backup Information:
The Public Safety Training Campus Running Track Replacement project is currently in progress. Additional failed drainage piping was discovered during the demolition of the old running track. This piping runs under the track and must be replaced to be able to provide positive drainage as part of the project. If the drainage piping is not replaced, water will continue to force its way around the old piping and will eventually cause failure of the new running track to be installed.
This project is located within zip code 78744, within the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.
Southwest Corporation is located in Austin, Texas.
