Wastewater Treatment Facilities Expansion

Harris County MUD No. 368 is in the process of expanding their existing wastewater treatment facilities. The existing wastewater treatment plant is located at 19744 ½ Logan Briar Road. The plant is responsible for treating the wastewater produced by the MUD’s customers to a level that is considered acceptable by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for discharge into the existing drainage channel.

Since the construction of the original wastewater treatment plant, there have been three subsequent expansions. This current expansion will be the fifth and final planned expansion of this facility. Expansions of the wastewater treatment facilities have allowed the MUD to accept additional new customers expanding the MUD’s tax base. This expansion of the tax base is what has allowed the MUD to continuously lower its tax rate each year.

The construction activities are anticipated to begin in early December and are expected to continue for approximately one year. The activities will include vehicle traffic in and out of the plant site. There will be construction equipment onsite throughout the duration of the project, including excavation equipment, cranes, concrete trucks, dirt hauling trucks, and other associated equipment.

Rehabilitation Project

Harris County MUD No. 368 is in the process of rehabilitating the infrastructure at the Water Plant No. 1 site located at 19412 ½ Scarlett Cove. The water plant has three steel ground storage tanks which are responsible for storing the treated water that is sent to the customers within the MUD. In order to ensure water quality standards are met and to extend the longevity of the storage tanks and associated infrastructure, the MUD has a regular inspection and maintenance program for each water plant. 

The rehabilitation project includes protective coatings for the steel interior and exterior surfaces of the storage and pressure tanks at the project site, as well as some structural modifications to ensure the facilities are up to date with current codes and regulations. This work will require vehicle and construction equipment movement and activity in and out of this facility. This construction activity is anticipated to last through February 2023.
