Northgate Crossing Municipal Utility Districts Nos. 1 & 2 have jointly begun a new project. The project involves constructing a Disk Filter Basin, a 300,000-gallon Ground Storage Tank, and a Booster Station at the Northgate Crossing Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). This initiative is partially funded by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), with additional funds from Northgate Crossing MUD No. 1.
Environmental Impact
The primary goal of these improvements is to comply with the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District (HGSD) and the North Harris County Regional Water Authority Groundwater Reduction Program (NHCRWA GRP) requirements. By transitioning the irrigation of public facilities to non-potable water sources, the project will significantly reduce the District’s reliance on groundwater. This aligns with broader efforts to mitigate subsidence and conserve vital water resources.
A water reuse authorization has been obtained in accordance with TCEQ Chapter 210, allowing the treated effluent from the WWTP to be used for irrigating district facilities. This not only ensures compliance with local water management mandates but also sets a precedent for sustainable water use in municipal operations.
