| No. | Project Name | Description | Stage |
| Small Water Main Replacement (2010) (not shown on map) | In 2009-2010 the Public Works Construction Division will replace small water mains on: Wedgeview (Wheelwood to 820 access), Wedgeview (Bedford-Euless to Wheelwood), Glengarry Court (Diamond Loch W. to Cul-de-sac), Carma (Glenview to Manor), Blvd.26 (Daley to 7131 Blvd. 26), and Green Meadow (Holiday to Lola). | Ongoing | |
| 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 outlined 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 bursting and lining, new manholes, repair and relining existing manholes, replacement of sections of sewer mains and minor extensions of existing sewer lines. | Close Out | |
| Water / Sewer Main Replacement (2010) (not shown on map) | In 2009-2010 the Public Works Construction Division will replace water and sewer mains on: Colorado (4901 Colorado to Bedford-Euless), Woods Lane (Davis to Dead End), Circle Drive (North Richland to Fieldstone), Stoneridge (Brookview to Cul-de-sac), Hanging Cliff (Ridgetop to Windhaven), and Stone (Mary to Jean Ann). | Ongoing | |
| Telemetric Water Meter Annual Maintenance (2010)(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. The transponder units transmit meter information to a mobile receiver reducing the needs for manual reading. Each meter with a transponder costs about $158 to replace and the City replaces about 2,000 per year. | Construction | |
| Water/ Wastewater Master Plan, Rate Study & Impact Fee Update (not shown on map) | Update the current Impact Fee Study and Water / Wastewater Master Plan. The Master Plan will identify system deficiencies and indicate specific proposed improvements that will correct the deficiencies and will include an updated Hydraulic Model and a Water Distribution and Wastewater collection map showing both existing and proposed system facilities. Additionally, evaluation and analysis will be made of the current water and sewer rates to determine future needed rate levels. | Ongoing | |
| Sanitary Sewer System Assessment (not shown on map) | This project consists of hiring a firm to conduct a professional survey and analysis of the City's wastewater system in the southern portion of the City (south of Northeast Loop 820). The survey will include flow monitoring studies of the area showing wet and dry weather peak flow rates, modeling of the existing infrastructure for study, cost assessment of repairs needed, smoke testing to identify inflow/infiltration problems, and television inspections to pinpoint breaks. | Ongoing | |
| Subsurface Water Line Leak Detection Equipment | Purchase leak detection transmitters with radio frequencies to identify water lines that are leaking The equipment uses high and low frequencies through sensors that listen for sounds of a water line leaking, provides a picture and the distance to a water leak on the main line. The equipment can locate leaks in metal, copper, cement, and PVC pipes. | Planning | |
| Big Fossil Creek Wastewater Outfall (not shown on map) | Construction of a parallel wastewater outfall main from the North Richland Hills metering station 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. | Design | |
| 01 | Big Fossil Creek Sewer Line Project | Removal and relocation of 425 linear feet of 18-inch diameter clay sanitary sewer line from Big Fossil Creek within Iron Horse Golf Course. 50 linear feet of the sewer main will be encased in concrete, one (1) existing manhole replaced and three (3) additional manholes will be installed. | Close Out |
| 02 | IH 820 Utility Adjustments (Interchange to Meadowlakes) | Relocating and/or adjusting the City water and sewer lines that 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. | Design |
| 03 | Lift Station Expansion (Boulevard 26 at Precinct Line) | Identified as Project Number 2 in the 2005 Impact Fee Report, this project consists of the design and construction of the expansion of the Lift Station (called Aegon Lift Station) from 0.9 million gallons per day to 1.6 million gallons per day. New 15" sewer mains will carry flow to and from the lift stations. | Construction |
| 04 | Water Line (Amundson Road/Winter Park/Newman | Identified as Project Number 5 in the 2005 Impact Fee Report, this project provides 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). Approximately 800 LF of 8" water line, 3400 LF of 10" water line, and 6000 LF of 12" water line will be constructed. | Construction |
| 05 | Water Line (Boulevard 26/Cardinal Lane) | A new 12" water line will be constructed south of the Venue development, along the south side of Simmons Dr. and the south side of a section of Parker to Bridge Street and 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 |
| 06 | Water Line (Holiday Lane and College Cir.) | Identified as Project Number 4 in the 2005 Impact Fee Report, the project consists of the design and construction of new 12" and 16" water lines along Holiday Lane (Mid-Cities to Bogart Dr.), 12" water line along College Circle (Holiday Lane to Ross Rd.). Approximately 5,150 LF of 12" water line and 500 LF of 16" water line will be constructed. These water lines will provide water to areas expected to be developed during the next 10 years. | Construction |
| 07 | Water Line (Holiday Ln. and Iron Horse Blvd.) | Identified as Project Number 7 in the 2005 Impact Fee Report, this project consists of the design and construction of a new 16" water line from Mid-Cities Blvd south along Iron Horse Blvd, east along Iron Horse Blvd., and south on Holiday Lane to Janetta Dr. Approximately 8,500 LF of 16" water line will be constructed. This project will provide water to areas that are expected to be developed over the next 10 years. | Construction |
| 08 | Water Line (Precinct Line/TRA Pump Station) | Identified as Project Number 3 in the 2005 Impact Fee Report, this 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 |
| 09 | Western Center Water Facility Expansion | In October 2005, the City had a Water and Wastewater Plan prepared that would cover future system needs to "build out" (estimated at approximately 2017). One of the future needs identified was an additional 5 million gallon ground storage tank to be located at the Western Center Storage and Booster Pump Station site. The current site is not large enough to accommodate a new 5 million gallon ground storage tank. This project will include purchasing an additional 2/3 of an acre adjacent to the current site for the future expansion. | Land Acquisition |
| 10 | Rehabilitation of the Johnson Water Storage Tank | The concrete floor inside the Johnson Water Storage Tank and the walls will be sealed to stop leaks. The tank interior will be cleaned and the concrete floor and walls prepared for the sealing product by applying a series of primers and fillers to correct surface defects and help prevent corrosion. | Ongoing |
