Final Pipe Installed for Segment A of Surface Water Supply Project
Construction of Segment A of the Surface Water Supply Project (SWSP) has reached an important milestone with the installation of the final section of pipe.
Segment A is a key part of the regional transmission system that will deliver surface water from the Northeast Water Purification Plant (NEWPP) to water providers within the West Harris County Regional Water Authority (WHCRWA) and North Fort Bend Water Authority (NFBWA) boundaries. The segment includes approximately 10.7 miles of 96-inch-diameter pipeline.
Segment A consists of two sections:
- A1: Hopper Road to west of the Union Pacific Railroad
- A2: Union Pacific Railroad to the Northeast Water Purification Plant
Together, these segments form a critical connection between the NEWPP and the broader distribution system.
The Surface Water Supply Project is designed to provide a long-term, reliable water supply for West Harris County and North Fort Bend County, Texas, while meeting the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District’s groundwater reduction requirements.
Once complete, the system will deliver treated surface water from Lake Houston through an extensive network of large-diameter transmission lines and pump stations, helping ensure a reliable water supply for today, tomorrow, and generations to come.
