The Conroe Central Wastewater Treatment Plant is the largest capital project in the city’s history at $60 million for a 6 million gallons per day (MGD) plant.
In Texas, when a plant exceeds 75% of its rated capacity, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requires the design of additional capacity be in the works. This was the case for Conroe, Texas, where population growth created the need for more capacity, and rising energy costs became a core consideration of plant design along with other needs, said Bill Schlafer, Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam (LAN) senior project manager.
