City Council Approves $1.3 Million Infrastructure Project at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi
State grant and Navy funding will replace aging 1978 wastewater lift station to strengthen base resiliency
At Tuesday’s regularly scheduled City Council meeting, the Council approved a contract with Ferguson Service Systems for a $1.3 million wastewater lift station replacement at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi (NASCC). A second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17.
Originally constructed in 1978 and last repaired in 2011, the current lift station is operating at only half capacity and presents significant operational risks. Replacing the aging facility will eliminate the risk of wastewater spills, lower ongoing maintenance costs, ensure full compliance with state and federal environmental regulations, and support long-term mission resiliency at NASCC.
Construction is set to begin in December 2026 and will take approximately one year to complete.
The $1.3 million infrastructure project is supported by a partnership between the U.S. Navy and the State of Texas Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant (DEAAG) program.
