Feasibility study assesses hydraulic complexity and permitting for interconnecting water supply systems, suggesting enhanced reliability.
The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD or District) provides clean water to over 2.3 million people in North Texas. NTMWD owns several raw water supply systems that supply its 840 MGD water treatment plant in Wylie. NTMWD initiated this feasibility study to evaluate the permitting requirements and hydraulic operational complexity associated with connecting two major raw water supply systems together. The objective of the project is to conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of the benefits of connecting both systems from a reliability and resiliency standpoint. Understanding the hydraulic complexity of both systems is a key success factor for this study to justify the investment necessary by NTMWD to make such a connection and meet all the necessary permitting requirements. This paper will present the outcome of this feasibility study and highlight the environmental permitting and complex hydraulic challenges associated with connecting the two systems.
