Wastewater Collection & Treatment Program

The SAWS Wastewater Collection and Treatment system consists of approximately 4,790 miles of sanitary sewer mains, 164 lift stations, and major wastewater treatment plants. The Wastewater CIP consists of programs and projects to upgrade and rehabilitate the wastewater collection and treatment systems, and increase their capacity to allow for the future growth.

The Wastewater component of the CIP focuses on sustaining aging collection systems, maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements, and supporting wet weather and operational demands. Collection system projects funded in 2008 will rehabilitate critical mains and also continue to add capacity in the rapidly growing Far West area. It also funds the continuation of a comprehensive lift station assessment and rehabilitation program that will ensure these critical facilities remain in full compliance with State regulations, industry codes and best management practices.

The wastewater treatment component of the 2008 CIP consists of projects that will replace or upgrade aging components and processes at the treatment plants. Improvements to the Dos Rios Water Recycling Center, several neighborhood sewer main replacements, and land acquisition for the Medina River sewer outfall are funded. The Wastewater CIP also funds a portion of the Automated Meter Reading project.
