Surface Water Treatment
The surface water treatment plant was
once capable of drawing and treating 20 million gallons of raw water per day
from an aqueduct served by Lake Houston water.
The plant was designed as a sediment filtration type plant and was used
to provide treated water critical to the paper production process, as well as
the property wide fire system and on-site power plant. In its current state, the plant is unable to
treat raw water but its storage capabilities are still in use and we are able
to supplement our water needs with captured rainwater. The facility is in very good condition and
could be brought back online with relative ease.
