Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion

The City of Cleburne began the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Expansion and Reuse Pump Station Project to address the increase in population and wastewater and water supply demand increases. As demand increases, so do the requirements set forth by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ); this expansion will meet the TCEQ requirements as well. The $33-million dollar project has been in the works for years and finally broke ground in October of 2021. The expansion will increase the facilities average daily capacity and increase the peak flow capacity. The expanded WWTP will produce up to 2 MGD (million gallons per day) of high quality reclaimed effluent (treated and dechlorinated water) necessary for discharge into Lake Pat Cleburne as a means to augment the City's water supply. The proposed West Loop Reuse Pump Station will deliver the reclaimed effluent from the WWTP to Lake Pat Cleburne with an initial phase of 2 MGD of flow to the lake. The WWTP Expansion and Reuse Pump Station Project will include:

An expansion to the influent pump station.
A new flow control vault
New headworks facility for the proposed treatment train
New secondary treatment including aeration basins, blowers, return and waste activated sludge pumps and secondary clarifiers
New tertiary media filters and UV disinfection for the new treatment train
Rehabilitation of the existing chlorine contact basins and chlorine injection room
Replace existing plant water pump station
Expand the sludge dewatering building building
Associated electrical controls and SCADA system improvements
Associated yard piping and hydraulic improvements
Drainage, landscaping and paving improvements
New 2 MGD pump station
New liquid sodium hypochlorite injection facilities
