| No. | Project Name | Description | Stage |
| Big Fossil Creek Wastewater Outfall (not shown on map) | This project consists of constructing a parallel wastewater outfall main from the North Richland Hills metering station, which is north of State Highway 10 to the Trinity River. North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Haltom City, and Fort Worth discharge sanitary sewer into this section of the existing outfall mains. Each city will pay a portion of the cost based on volume of flow from their city. The size of the main will vary, but will be as large as 90" in diameter. North Richland Hills will need to pay for connecting its existing outfall to the new outfall. After the new outfall is complete, both wastewater pipelines will be owned, operated, and maintained by Fort Worth as part of its system. | Planning | |
| Small Water Main Replacement (2006) (not shown on map) | This is an annual program that is completed by the Public Works Construction Division. The project replaces old 2" and 4" water mains with 6" or larger water pipes and provides adequate fire hydrant coverage to areas currently without proper coverage. Identified areas for water main replacement include Briley Drive, Cloyce Court, Terry Drive, Yarmouth Avenue, Tabor Street, and Mackey Drive. | Complete | |
| Wastewater System Rehabilitation Project (EPA) (not shown on map) | This project includes the "Priority 3" repairs and rehabilitation to the City's wastewater system as determined by field investigations and outline in the Sewer System Evaluation Study. The "Priority 1" and "Priority 2" repairs identified in the study are complete, now it is time to make the repairs on the system that were identified in the final phase (Priority 3). The work to be done involves pipe busting and lining, new manholes, repair and relining existing manholes, replacement of sections of sewer mains, and minor extensions of existing sewer lines. Staff will hire an outside consultant to assist with the design of part of the project. | Construction | |
| Unidirectional Flushing Program (not shown on map) | Using computer mapping, the City of North Richland Hills will develop a unidirectional flushing (UDF) program. UDF consists of closing specific water system valves to create one way flow and then opening hydrants in a consecutive manner. This increases the speed of water flow in the pipes. Their high velocities produce a scouring action in the pipes, removing stubborn deposits. | Complete | |
| Water / Sewer Main Replacement (2006) (not shown on map) | The project is an annual program that is completed by the Public Works Construction Division. The project provides for the replacement of several water/sewer mains on Deville Street, Valley Drive, Simmons Drive, and Little Ranch Road. | Complete | |
| Telemetric Water Meter Annual Maintenance (2007) (not shown on map) | The Telemetric Water Meter Annual Maintenance Program allows the City to continue replacing some of the transponder units and meters installed 10 years ago. | Ongoing | |
| Water/Sewer Main Replacement (2007) (not shown on map) | The project is an annual program that is completed by the Public Works Construction Division. The project provides for the replacement of water/sewer mains on College Circle South, Short Street, Blende, Onyx Dr. South, and April Lane. | Complete | |
| Utility Capital Projects (2007) (not shown on map) | This project provides for the construction of miscellaneous water and sewer lines throughout the City. City staff will do the actual construction utilizing City purchased materials and rental equipment. | Complete | |
| Small Water Main Replacement (2007) (not shown on map) | This is an annual program that is completed by the Public Works Construction Division. The project replaces old 2" and 4" water mains with 6" or larger water pipes and provides adequate fire hydrant coverage to areas currently without proper coverage. The project provides for the replacement of small or undersize water mains on Simmons, Karen, Laurel Lane, Steven, Charles, and Holiday Lane West. | Complete | |
| 01 | IH 820 Utility Adjustments (Interchange to Meadowlakes) | This project consists of relocating and/or adjusting the City water and sewer lines that will conflict with the I.H. 820 Widening Project. The City started design and construction on the portion of the project adjacent to the Rufe Snow Bridge. Design on the remainder section cannot start until TXDOT has conducted the Public Meeting for the Loop 820 widening project and established the proposed right-of-way. | Planning |
| 02 | North Hills Sanitary Sewer Improvements | This project consists of replacing approximately 2,500 feet of existing 6" and 8" clay sanitary sewer mains located between Willowcrest and Wendell with new PVC pipe. The engineering division is wanting to do some "In-house" design. Since this project is not an "emergency" situation, staff has been attempting to work this project into its current work load. We believe this could save the City money and provide design experience for the City's E.I.T's. This is a pilot program. | Construction |
| 03 | Pump Station Modifications for Emergency Power | This project consists of making modifications to the city's potable water pump stations so that portable generators could quickly be set up to provide emergency back up power to these pump stations. The improvements consist of modifications that will allow for the operation of wastewater lift stations during power outages that serve a major corporate customer (UICI) as well as a substantial retail complex and public high school. | Complete |
| 04 | College Hills Water Well Improvements | This project represents replacing the main water well at the College Hills Booster Pump Station. This well is one of the City's deepest wells (it extends to the Trinity Aquifer) and supplies the City with 50% of its total potable well water (approximately 0.60 MGD) The pump motor and encasement pipe need to be replaced and a disinfection system must be constructed to TCEQ requirements. | Design |
| 05 | Rufe Snow Elevated Storage Tank Removal | This project will consist of the removal of the Rufe Snow Drive Elevated Storage Tank. Because of the age of this tank, the project will include any necessary lead abatement. Also, part of this project will consist of valving adjustments along with some minor additions to the water mains. The City plans to resale the existing tank. The value of the tank will vary depending on if another City needs the tank at the time that it is removed. Funds are being budgeted for design to cover engineering costs associated with lead abatement and the closing and rerouting of any water mains. | Close Out |
| 06 | Starnes Elevated Tank Rehabiliation | This project will consist of making minor internal structural repairs and painting the interior and exterior portions of the .5 million gallon (MG) Starnes Elevated Tank. The project will also consist of making minor upgrades (such as safety ladders, air vents, etc.) per the latest TCEQ requirements. | Construction |
| 07 | Water Line (Amundson Road/Winter Park/Newman | This project is identified as Project Number 5 in the Impact Fee Report prepared in 2005. The project consists of the design and construction of new 8" and 10" water lines along Amundson Road (Main St. to Mid-Cities), Winter Park (Mid-Cities to north of Bridge Street) and a 12" line on Newman (Bridge Street to Emerald Hills Way). The total project will consist of approximately 800 LF of 8" water line, 3400 LF of 10" water line, and 6000 LF of 12" water line. | Planning |
| 08 | Water Line (Boulevard 26/Cardinal Lane) | This project is identified as Project Number 6 in the Impact Fee Report prepared for the City in 2005. The project consists of a new 12" water line constructed south of the Venue development, along the south side of a section of Simmons Dr. and the south side of a section of Parker to Bridge Street. Then constructed on the west side of Bridge Street to Cardinal. The project will consist of approximately 5,500 linear feet of 12" water line. | Planning |
| 09 | Water Line (Precinct Line/TRA Pump Station) | This project is identified as Project Number 3 in the Impact Fee Report prepared for the City in 2005. The project consists of approximately 350' to 400' of a new 24" water line which must be bored underneath Precinct Line Road. This line will connect the Trinity River Authority (TRA) booster pump station to the City's water distribution system at an existing 16" water line located on the west side of Precinct Line Road. | Planning |
