PROJECT OVERVIEW

The North and South Kuehler Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) serve a growing population of nearly 80,000 residents; making it the largest treatment facility in the New Braunfels area. Few capital improvements have been made to either plant since 1991, leaving the facilities in crucial need of attention.

Both plants were issued new discharge permits from the TCEQ requiring 12-month compliance. Our team performed a chemical phosphorous removal that was designed, approved and constructed within the compliance timeframe. We then proceeded to design an organic mass capacity expansion to address solid handling issues. The expansion took roughly three-years, during which we noticed the plant had experienced a significant increase in influent flow. Our team is currently working on expanding the plant to address this issue. The expansion will feature designs for one of the first clarifier launder systems in Texas.

Construction is slated to start in 2020 and finish in 2023.
