The 85 million gallons per day (MGD) raw water pump station was built in Newton County along the main stem of the Sabine River immediately downstream of Highway 12 near Deweyville. In addition to the pump station a new 7-mile, 66-inch diameter pipeline was constructed to convey the raw water from the new pump station to SRA’s existing John W.
