Wastewater Treatment Plant
The new Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) construction progress continues. This plant handles all of the wastewater treatment for both MUD 8 and MUD 9. Most of the concrete and building work is complete. Some major equipment is set in place. Piping and electrical underground work is nearing completion. Below is an aerial picture of site. On the left is the existing 800,000 gallon per day plant. The new 1,200,000 gallon per day plant is being required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to improve the effluent quality and increase the capacity due to the growth within Walden.
Commissioning of the new WWTP will occur in June & July 2021. After a couple months of operations, parts of the existing plant will begin being demolished. There are then some upgrades of the existing plant that will be finalized in 2022.
