PROJECT HARRATIVR
The 1983 amendments to the Housing and Community Development Act require
that each recipient of funds under Title I of the legislation prepare a
statement of local housing and community development needs. Completion of the
form below satisfies this requirement and must be filled out by all applicants.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY LOCAL PRIORITY
The special needs and problems of the City of Round Rock are identified in the
Round Rock General Plan, Central Business District Plan, EPA Step 1 Facility
Plan, Capital Improvement Plan and special surveys and studies by the City.
The specific community development needs of Round Rock is the revitalization
of the central area. These needs are:
1. Need to resolve the water pressure in the central area: four hundred and
seventy eight (478) residential unties, a 28 unit HUD housing project, and a
50 bed senior citizens care facility does not have adequate water flow to meet
current demand. (Documentation Housing Authority Director Letter)
2. Need to improve the water pressure in central area: the fire safety of the
1,542 residents of the central area is in danger. The present distribution
system cannot deliver adequate fire flows. (Documentation State Insurance
Board Letter)
3. Need to replace 1" and 2" lines with 6" and 8" lines: the entire city's water
supply is in danger of contamination due to the age, size and design of lines
in the central area. A 15,000 1.f. 6" and 8" water line has been recommended

by the City's Consulting Engineer to resolve the water problem in the
central area and present the contamination of the City's water supply.
4. Need to engineer and construct a drainage system in central city: there
is no drainage system in the central area. Water ponds for days following
rains. The ponding of water is a safety hazards to the 1,542 residents of
the area. Water standing in tie yards of many of the 478 housing units
is causing the unit to deteriorate and giving the neighborhood a blighted
appearance.
5. Need to reconstruct streets to resolve flooding of houses and water pond -
ing: street elevation and conditions cause water to pond and stand in the
street and under houses. Four houses on East Main Street flood frequently
as a result of the program. Acces to the HUD Housing Project is hampered
during heavy rains because East Main beccjes unpassable.
6. Need to resolve the water stagnation and damage at railroad: board under
railroad and place concrete culvert and channel water to Lake Creek.
7. Walkways: construction of sidewalks along one side of collector streets.
NEEDS ADDRESSED IN THIS APPLICATION
Street and Drainage: Reconstruct East Main Street from Georgetown Street
east to the proposed extension of Greenlawn with 44 feet of paving with
curb, gutter and sidewalk along the north side.
Water Line: Lay an 8" water line to relieve a health hazard which, if left
unattended could result in contamination of the City's water system.

B. Project Summary
1. Why is the applicant addressing this particular need?
During the past 10 years, the population and household income of Round
Rock increased due to annexation of new subdivisions to the City. The
social, economic and physical characteristics as well as the public facilities
of the area contained in the 1970 corporate limits has changed very little
since 1970. The residents are predominately minority and family income
is below the metropolitan average.
The water lines in the area were installed in the 1930's under the WPA
program. The age, like of design, and the small size of the lines consti-
tute a public health and safety hazard. The Texas Department of Health
has informed the City of the potential of its water system becoming conta-
minated if the 1 1/2" main in the central area of the system is not replaced
by 6" and 8" lines. The State Board of Insurance has notified the City
that the water system in the Central area cannot deliver adequate fire
flows. The safety of residents of the HUD housing project, a senior citi-
zens residential care facility as well as other residents of the central
area is in danger. The director of the HUD project has called the City on
several occasions to report lost of water pressure. Attached are letters
from the Health Department, State Insurance Board, Housing Authority
Director. (See illustrations B1, B2, B3)
There is no existing drainage system in the central area. The area floods
during an sustandard rain. The flooding creates health hazards, dangerous
driving conditions, and general maintenance and repair problems. The ele-
vation of streets in the area prevents water from flowing which causes
many houses to flood and water to stand under houses for days. Streets
in the central area need reconstruction to correct this drainage problem.
A railroad does not allow water to flow to Lake Creek. Two culverts are
needed under the railroad, channels need to be improved to improve the
drainage rate and maintenance.
The condition of the streets and drainage contributes to the blighted condi-
tions of the area. The City of Round Rock under the Development Corpor-
ation Act of 1979 designated the area as being blighted. The Texas In-
dustrial Commission approved the designation by the City.
The need for revitalization of the central area is documented in the Round
Rock General Plan, Round Rock Downtown Study, EPA Facilities Study and
special staff reports. In addition these are the continued needs of the
community as expressed in previous year applications for community deve-
lopment funds and current year public hearings.

Y -D
2. How does the applicant propose to resolve the identified need?
The activites to be undertaken are water system improvements and street
and drainage. Four hundred and seventy eight (478) residential units,
a 28 unit HUD housing project, and a 50 bed senior citizens care facility
will be impacted by this project.
Local Capital Improvement Program funds will be used inconjection with TCDP
funds. CIP funds will be used to construct a new 8" water main and TCDP
funds to construct 4" or 6" service lines. CIP funds will be used to re-
construct Main Street from the Central Business District to Georgetown
Street, TCDP funds, Georgetwon Street to Greenlawn. Street improvements
will include design drainage solutions for Circle Drive and Cook Street.

ILLUSTRATION B1
Subject: City of Round Rock - Water Distribution
System Improvements
HUD Community Development Block Grant
Program
Williamson County, Texas
On October 25, 1982, our representative, Len Klandrud, R.S., conducted
an inspection of the subject water system. During this inspection
pressure tests were conducted on the distribution system in the east
central section of the city. Results of the tests indicated residual
pressures of 8 psi occurring when fire hydrants were flushed.
The primary reason for the extremely low residual pressure is due to
the 11/2" water mains which serve this section of the city. According
to this Department's suggested minimum water main sizes, a 11"
water main should only serve a maximum of 5 connections. This
recommendation is being greatly exceeded in this section of the city.
In this connection, water distribution systems are required to be
designed and constructed so as to provide at all times a minimum
residual pressure of 20 psi under maximum usage conditions. Under
normal operating conditions, minimum pressures should be not less
than 35 psi. It is obvious that the sections of the distribution
system with 11" water mains are greatly overloaded which results in
the low residual pressures. Conditions such as this constitutes a
potential public health hazard which, if left unattended, could
result in the backflow or siphonage of contaminants into the water
system. Contamination of the water system could develop into an
imminent threat to the health of the customers in all sections of
the water system.

It is understood that the City's grant proposal is to include
replacing the 11" mains in the east central section of the
system with 6" to 8" transmission lines. This measure should
greatly improve the quantity of water and pressure provided to this
area.
In view of the above, the Texas Department of Health concurs with
the proposal and endorses the City's efforts to correct this
potentially hazardous condition in the City of Round Rock.

TOM BOND
Commissioner of Insurance
Fire protection for the Trinity Luthern Home and the Lance Haven
(Nursing Home) demands an upgrading of the water distribution system
in their areas of the city of Round Rock. The present distribution
system cannot deliver adequate fire flows, though static pressures
are high enough. •
The health and safety of the people in the two named homes, as well
as of other residents in the area, make an improvement of the water
distribution system there necessary.

Very truly yours,
Tom Bond
