Waste Water Treatment
- The City of Highland Village operates a wastewater collections system that encompasses approximately 80 miles of wastewater main, wastewater lift stations, manholes, and cleanouts.
- The City does not have its own facilities to treat wastewater.
- The City has a contract with the Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) to treat all of the City’s wastewater at the Lakeview Regional Reclamation Plant located in Hickory Creek.
- The City’s current subscribed capacity is 1.404 MGD
- Additional information regarding this facility is provided in the link following: UTRWD
Thus, the primary focus of the wastewater collection system is to ensure delivery of wastewater in a smooth steady flow to the reclamation plant without any stoppages or blockages along the way.
- The system functions by channeling sanitary sewer to the Lakeview regional Reclamation Plant through a system of sewer mains running downhill with gravity.
- A total of 9 lift stations function to raise the sewage back to a higher position so the flow can continue downhill with gravity.
- The system is subdivided into 3 main basins and 9 sub basins.
- Routine flushing on our main lines has helped curb the costly repairs to the collection lines.
A crew using service line and main line cameras frequently locates potential maintenance problems. In particular, an effort is made to minimize Inflow and Infiltration to reduce sewage treatment cost.
- Together, crews are able to spot potential problems quickly and solve them before they turn into major concerns.
