Denton, Texas, Expands Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant
The City of Denton has officially begun an expansion of its Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant, featuring a new 75 MGD headworks and a 30 MGD membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology upgrade. This project is a response to the city’s rapid growth and the need for enhanced treatment efficiency.
The incorporation of MBR technology allows for higher quality effluent, which is increasingly important for water reuse and strict discharge compliance. The new headworks will provide significantly improved capacity for handling influent flows, reducing the risk of overflows during wet-weather events. This upgrade reflects the trend of municipal utilities adopting advanced biological and membrane-based treatment processes to meet modern environmental standards. As Denton continues to experience significant population growth, this project ensures the wastewater system can maintain reliable and compliant service for its residents.
