A bit of a correction: the City was/is solely in charge of design and construction of the intake facility...not the Waller Creek Conservancy (WCC)!
Last year, the WCC realized that the height of the unconstructed "poppy" feature was in violation of a state CVC. They notified the City of this issue and at the same time they told the City that they were redesigning the feature to adhere with the CVC. Because of this discovery, the City realized that their intake facility, which was more than half constructed at the time, was also in violation of the same state CVC. Therefore, the $1.8MM in legal fees is solely due to a City error and has nothing to do with the WCC!
