Water Reclamation Project to Enhance Non-Potable Water System
City of Corpus Christi
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS (News Release) – Corpus Christi City Council approved a Master Services Agreement with Ardurra Group, Inc. for up to $11 million to design a major expansion of the City’s reclaimed water infrastructure. The project will improve the reliability, capacity, and efficiency of the City’s non-potable reuse system while reducing the demand on the potable water supply.
The agreement will fund the design of an effluent reuse delivery system connecting the Oso Water Reclamation Plant to the Greenwood Wastewater Treatment Plant. This expansion represents a significant investment in sustainable water management for the Coastal Bend.
“This project demonstrates the City’s commitment to water conservation and sustainable infrastructure,” said Nick Winkelmann, Interim Chief Operating Officer of Corpus Christi Water. “By expanding our reclaimed water system, we are offsetting the demand on our potable water system.”
The City has utilized wastewater effluent for non-potable reuse since the 1960s. Currently, a portion of the total effluent produced by Greenwood, Oso, and Laguna Madre Water Reclamation Plants is reused, with the remainder discharged into creeks, bays, and estuaries.
