Began investigating the potential of Wastewater Reuse.Began investigating the potential of Wastewater Reuse.

The Current Problem Loss of Rainfall The annual average rainfall for the Wichita Falls area is 28.5 inches. In 2011 we were 15.5 inches below normal. In 2012 we were 8.75 inches below normal. In 2013 we were 7.24 inches below normal. So far, in 2014, we are 6.3 inches below normal Normal 10” 20”

The Current Problem Record Temperatures Wichita Falls typically averages 28 days over 100 degrees In 2011 we had 100 days. In 2012 we had 50 days. The Weather Channel ranked Wichita Falls the #1 Worst Summer anywhere in the U.S. for In 2013 we had 32 days. In 2014 we had 21 days. Normal 28 Days

The Solution Drought Restrictions

Water Conservation The Answer? Unfortunately, we can not conserve our way out of this drought. So, what’s the Plan??

What’s the Plan EMERGENCY DIRECT POTABLE REUSE

Wastewater Effluent Quantity? The River Road WWTP averages 12 MGD discharge to the Big Wichita River. Drought reductions have lowered that to 7.5 MGD.Drought reductions have lowered that to 7.5 MGD. Using the Reverse Osmosis would generate 5 MGD of source water.Using the Reverse Osmosis would generate 5 MGD of source water. Blended with 5 MGD water from Lakes would produce 10 MGD water for health and sanitation needs.Blended with 5 MGD water from Lakes would produce 10 MGD water for health and sanitation needs.

Wastewater Effluent Quality? compoundsThe River Road WWTP effluent has been tested for the last 16 months for numerous regulated and non- regulated compounds. Wastewater Effluent currently meets all 97 drinking water standards, with the exception of:Wastewater Effluent currently meets all 97 drinking water standards, with the exception of: NitrateNitrate TrihalomethanesTrihalomethanes MicrobialsMicrobials

Wastewater Effluent Quality? Nitrate – estimated 80% removal through Reverse Osmosis. Effluent = 18 ppm RO Permeate = 3.6 ppm Blend with Raw Surface Water = 1.8 ppm

Wastewater Effluent Quality? Trihalomethanes – estimated 40% removal through Reverse Osmosis with an addition of 15 ppm from Conventional Treatment.Trihalomethanes – estimated 40% removal through Reverse Osmosis with an addition of 15 ppm from Conventional Treatment. Effluent = 106 ppb RO Permeate = 63.6 ppb Blend with Raw Surface Water = 31.8 ppb Conventional Treatment = 46.8 ppb (MCL 80 ppb, WF Avg 15ppb) Reduced Trihalomethanes in Wastewater Effluent by using Chloramines.Reduced Trihalomethanes in Wastewater Effluent by using Chloramines. Effluent = 10 ppb RO Permeate = 6 ppb Blend with Raw Surface Water = 3 ppb Conventional Treatment = 18 ppb

Direct Potable Reuse Concept Paper The City had confirmed that all required Treatment Processes were already on-site. Just had to connect them with a pipeline. The City developed a Concept Paper detailing: Processes to be Utilized Removal Efficiencies for Various Contaminants Operational Guidelines Submitted in November TCEQ Acceptance February 2013.

Direct Potable Reuse Public Acceptance The City worked from day 1 to educate the public on the processes and get them comfortable with DPR. Utilized the Media at every step. Brought together Medical Doctors and Academic PhD’s. Created an educational video.

Direct Potable Reuse Preliminary Engineering Report The City hired Biggs & Matthews, Inc. to develop the Preliminary Engineering Report Submitted in May TCEQ Acceptance September 2013 to construct pipeline and conduct a 45-day Full Scale Verification test.

Ensuring Safety Bells and Whistles Developed new SOP’s specific to the DPR. Alarm & Shutdown Triggers (50+ pages, Some Automated) Water Quality Task Force with Health Department

The End Results Making a Difference Restrictions reduced July/August demand from Average of 35 MGD to 12 MGD. (65%) Reuse further reduced July/August lake demand from 12 MGD to 7 MGD. (80%) Estimated that Restrictions and Reuse have extended lake supply to between July 2017 and July Current Average Potable GPCD for Wichita Falls is 52 gal / capita / day.
