Elon’s Wastewater Could Be Coming Through Fayette County

According to a story, in the Austin-American Statesman last week: “The Boring Company, Elon Musk’s Central Texas-based tunneling and infrastructure operation, is seeking a permit that would allow it to dump up to 142,500 gallons of treated wastewater a day into the Colorado River from its property in Bastrop County.

The Boring Company, which was founded in California but recently moved its headquarters to Pflugerville, is looking to build a wastewater treatment facility on its research and development site in Bastrop County. The company is seeking to dispose of treated wastewater directly into the Colorado River below Lady Bird Lake, and it also requested the option of disposing the wastewater via irrigation.”
