Faced with rapid population growth north of Dallas, the North Texas Regional Water District is pushing hard to keep pace with infrastructure capacity needs by constructing new and expanded wastewater conveyance and treatment facilities outside of New Hope.
The new Sister Grove Water Resource Recovery Facility will have an initial average annual daily treatment capacity of 16 million gallons per day and include liquid treatment process facilities, solids handling, peak flow handling and plant operations support facilities. Built on a 1,000-acre site, the new facility will have ample room for expansion up to 128 MGD, however, the new site’s location also requires a nearly four-mile $66-million pipeline that extends to the outfall at Stiff Creek. The pipeline, which broke ground in April 2021, is scheduled to complete in April.
