Houston Public Works (HPW), Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam, Inc. (LAN), and Harper Brothers Construction, LLC (HBC) have received the Texas Chapter of the American Public Works Association (TX-APWA) 2023 Project of the Year Award for Environment, $25M-$75M category, for the SWTP 72-inch Water Line from Emancipation to Tuam. The award will be presented at the Waco Convention Center during this year’s Mammoth TX-APWA Public Works Conference and Exhibition on Wednesday, June 28.
The 72-inch water line is part of HPW’s Surface Water Transmission Program (SWTP). The overall goal of the SWTP is to reduce ground subsidence in the Houston area by increasing surface water usage, decreasing groundwater use, and improving the reliability of the water supply system.
