The Bud Ervin Water Treatment (BEWTP) shares property lines with the Rogene Worley Middle School. When the school was developed, it tied into a 12 “ water main on the plant site to serve its domestic, irrigation, and fire service needs. In 1988, the 12” was replaced with a 48” transmission line to serve all of the upper-pressure plane (UPP), which incorporates ~40% of the average daily flow from the BEWTP. With this line aging, it is essential that we perform condition assessments and maintenance to extend its useful life. In 2019 we installed a second 36” transmission line on the UPP to give us flexibility to serve the community while the 48” is out of service.
We approached the MISD to work on a plan to relocate the 8” line serving the school from the 48” transmission line. The school agreed that it was appropriate to relocate their line to be more resilient to shutting down the 48” transmission line. A project was ultimately designed to relocate the 8” from the rear of the school to Pleasant Ridge Drive and connect it to an 8” distribution line.
