Regarding Noise Near the Holly Plant Area ..

On December 10, 2011, in Uncategorized, by admin

We recently had someone submit a question through our “Contact Us” page about the  the noise is that is emanating from the power plant area.

The noise you hear is from work that the city’s Water and Waste Water Department is performing next to the park in order to remove the lift station that has been there for years and at times providing a foul odor to the neighborhood. The work will be completed by the end of December and the lift station will be gone forever along with the smell. There are currently no activities inside the power plant that are emanating any loud noise that you could hear from your home near the Holly Plant Area.

Austin Energy and TRC will notify the neighborhood in advance during the plant removal activities of any unusual sounds you may hear from the work that will be performed.
