Houston, TX -
Houston City Council Member Dave Martin would like to invite residents to attend an informational open house on Wednesday, October 25 or Wednesday, November 15 to learn about the expansion of the Northeast Water Purification Plant (NEWPP).
The meetings will be held at Woodcreek Middle School located at 14600 Woodson Park Drive, Houston, TX 77044. Both meetings will cover the same material, doors will open at 6:30 p.m. followed by the program at 7:00 p.m. and the meeting will conclude at 8:00 p.m.
The NEWPP is expanding their existing 80 million-gallons-per-day (MGD) plant by 320 MGD through the construction of a new plant adjacent to the existing facilities. The new plant, Plant 2, will be constructed within the property boundaries of the existing 152-acre treatment plant site.
This expansion is a collaborative effort undertaken by the City of Houston in order to provide additional treated water capacity for the City and the four Authorities that will participate in the project in accordance with the second supplement to the water supply contracts water demands and the requirements of the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District as well as the Fort Bend Subsidence District that restrict groundwater usage. The expansion is expected to be completed in 2024.
