Engineering Design Manual (EDM) Updates

Pflugerville

Summary

The city is rewriting the technical rulebook developers must follow for streets, water, sewer, and drainage. Key changes include stricter waiver standards, looped water lines instead of dead ends, tougher pipe materials, and clearer drainage rules. Council wants safer intersection designs like roundabouts encouraged by default and a round of developer feedback before adoption.
