Regional Wastewater Facility Planning Study – Public Meeting #1

 

The Sabine River Authority, Cities of Greenville, Caddo Mills, and Quinlan, as well as Cash Special Utility District, and Caddo Basin Special Utility District are jointly participating in a study, partially funded by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to identify technically feasible options for a centralized wastewater collection and treatment system to meet the wastewater treatment needs within the study area and to avoid the proliferation of new septic systems in the study area.

 

The planning area includes most of the southwestern portion of Hunt County and extends from the Hunt County line to the west, the Caddo Basin SUD water certificate of convenience and necessity (CCN) service area to the northwest, City of Greenville water CCN boundary to the north and the Cowleech Fork of the Sabine River drainage basin to the east.  The planning area extends to the south and includes the City of West Tawakoni, the area along the north shore of the South Fork arm of Lake Tawakoni and extends west to the Hunt County line. 

 

The Cities of Greenville, Caddo Mills and Quinlan, as well as the Cash SUD have all received numerous inquiries from developers proposing new residential developments within their service areas which could result in significantly higher localized growth rates. Efforts toward regionalization within the study area will include making provisions for connection by other existing or proposed developments even though they may not directly participate in the study.  Providing the opportunity for centralized collection and treatment of wastewater to as many existing developments as possible will further the cause of improved water quality in the watershed and encourage the highest, best use of land within the study area.   

 

This meeting is a part of the first phase of the study, which is to gather background information on the study area like population, service area, wholesale customers, permitted discharge etc. The current plans and possible alternatives for providing wastewater service in Greenville regional wastewater planning area will be discussed at this meeting.  The Sabine River Authority 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.
