PLW Waterworks was selected by the Baytown Area Water Authority to construct a new 6MGD Surface Water Treatment Plant for the community.
The work consists of the raw water intake, screens and forebay.
Crews will also construct a low lift pump station, which moves high volumes of
water at relatively low discharge pressures. Additional production includes a
rapid mix basin, pulsed bed clarifier, disinfection basin, self‐backwashing
filter, transfer pump station, prestressed concrete ground storage tank, high
service pump station, sludge pump stations, recycle pump station, storm water
pump station, tanks, pumps, piping, valves, electrical systems, instrumentation
and control systems, operations building, maintenance building, primary
electrical building, high service pump station building, low lift pump station
building, plumbing, HVAC systems, concrete paving, sidewalks, site grading,
site work, generators, and switchgear.
The project will help the City of Baytown meet new surface water
usage rules by treating up to six million gallons of surface water per day from
the CIWA canal and converting it to clean, potable water for residents.
