[edit] General Description
This would repair and refurbish large in ground concrete tanks at the South Austin Regional Waste Water Treatment Plant that temporarily store treated sewage as a part of the treatment process. While in these tanks the solids in the water clump together and sink to the bottom of the tank the clean water is then pumped to equalization basins continuing the treatment process on the way to releasing it into the colorado river south of town.
