Regional Wastewater Facility Planning Study – Initial Public Meeting

The Sabine River Authority of Texas, the Cities of Orange, Bridge City and Pinehurst, Orange County WCID NO. 2 and Orangefield Water Supply Corporation are jointly participating in a study, partially funded by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to identify technically feasible options for a regional wastewater collection and treatment system to meet the wastewater treatment needs within the study area.

The planning area includes the CCN boundaries of the participating cities and water/wastewater entities which are generally located in the eastern portion of Orange County. The planning area will also include unserved areas adjacent to the entities.

The purpose of the initial meeting will be to designate the study area and review readily available background information such as population, permitted discharge etc.; review the objectives and tasks of the study; and define the objectives of the next meeting which is to be set near 50% completion of the study. The Sabine River Authority of Texas and other study participants believe that the open exchange of ideas and the active involvement of the public and water and sewer service providers in the study area are crucial to achieving a meaningful outcome of the study and we encourage everyone interested to come and participate.
