Water & Sewer Lines

A mix of old and new lines

Primarily composed of distribution and gravity mains

5 fire mains throughout the corridor

Fire Hydrants & Street Lights

67 total fire hydrants within the University Corridor

No part of any structure above ground tanks or fueling station can be more than three hundred ft. (300’) from a fire hydrant, and any commercial building must be within one hundred and fifty ft. (150’) arc point from where a fire apparatus can operate

Recommendations

Mobility More stringent pedestrian and bicycle improvements

throughout new developments within University Corridor Cooperation between TAMU and BCS transit for

multimodal opportunities Infrastructure

Water and Sewer infrastructure will meet future demand of University Drive West (Northgate District)
