A man in an apron is standing and working in a laboratory at the Govalle Wastewater Treatment Plant. There are glass bottles and test tubes on the shelves. In 1934, the Public Works Administration approved a $500,000 grant and loan package for the construction of a sewage disposal plant for the City of Austin. The city purchased 31 acres of land along the Colorado River for the site of the new plant, which was to be a revolutionary facility designed for a relatively new treatment process using activated sludge. The city hired the architecture and engineering consulting firm of Hawley, Freese and Nichols to design the 6 million gallon a day plant. Brown and Root, Inc. received the contract to build the plant in November 1935. In May 1937, the Govalle Wastewater Treatment Plant was finished. The Govalle Plant treated wastewater for 69 years before it was decommissioned in October 2006. The site continues to serve the city as the Austin Water Utility Govalle Occupational Development and Support Center.
