Hudson Oaks has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, and an unseen problem with the increased population is increased sewage.


The city is proactive in preparing for population now and in the far future by installing a major waste water line from west Hudson Oaks to a new wastewater treatment plant in Willow Park.* Moving the contents will take gravity and a pump station, the South Fork Lift Station, which will be built east of Center Point Road between Interstate 20 and Bankhead Highway.


Josh Kercho of Kimley-Horn Engineering Consultants, who is helping the city with analysis and plans, told the council the 5.5 miles of pipeline will run near Bankhead Highway on its way to Willow Park.


“We are about 90 percent complete,” Kercho said of the designs and preparation for the pump station. “Plans are going along well and we will soon be finished.”


City administrator Sterling Naron explained some permits, such as with the Texas Department of Transportation, are pending approval and when complete, the city will begin to accept bids for the project. The lift station and force main pump are estimated to cost $9,600,000.
