Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Sludge Improvements
Welcome to the Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant (LLWTP) Sludge Improvement Project!
Thank you for visiting our page! We’re excited to share with you the latest updates on our ongoing efforts to improve the infrastructure that supports safe, clean drinking water for the City of Denton. Your involvement and interest in this critical project make a difference, and we look forward to keeping you informed along the way.
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant (LLWTP) Sludge Improvement Project Overview
The Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant (LLWTP) supplies approximately 50% of the City of Denton’s potable water, playing a critical role in ensuring clean and safe drinking water for the community. One vital side stream process in the water treatment system is sludge management, which requires ongoing maintenance and modernization to ensure efficiency and reliability.
Project Scope:
- Sedimentation Basin Maintenance:
- The steel sludge collection mechanisms in the sedimentation basins, which were last coated over a decade ago, are due for rehabilitation and re-coating. This maintenance is essential for the continued performance and longevity of the sludge collection systems, which play a key role in separating solids from the water.
- Sludge Valve Replacement & Automation:
- The existing manual sludge valves will be replaced with modern, automated actuators. Automating these valves will not only enhance operational efficiency but also reduce manual intervention, leading to more precise sludge wasting control and process optimization.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Automating the sludge valves reduces the need for manual operation, improving the overall process control and reliability of the plant.
- Preventative Maintenance: By rehabilitating critical infrastructure like the sludge collection mechanisms, the plant mitigates the risk of equipment failure and prolongs the life of key components.
- Sustained Water Quality: These improvements are vital to supporting the LLWTP’s mission of providing safe, clean drinking water to Denton’s residents and maintaining compliance with water quality regulations.
Project Impact:
The LLWTP Sludge Improvement Project directly contributes to the long-term sustainability and reliability of Denton’s water supply. The enhancements will streamline sludge management, optimize plant operations, and ensure the continuation of high-quality drinking water for the community.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue making strides toward a more efficient and reliable water treatment system. Your engagement is crucial to the success of this project, and we encourage you to stay connected with us for future developments!

We are pleased to announce the successful return to service of Basins 1 & 2, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery to our community. To proactively enhance the long-term performance and reliability of our system, Basin 3 has been temporarily taken offline for a comprehensive maintenance program. This proactive measure includes a thorough cleaning and a meticulous inspection to identify and address any potential issues. Following this assessment, our experienced contractor will commence the necessary rehabilitation work to optimize the basin's functionality and ensure its continued contribution to a robust and efficient system.

Our team has been hard at work on the sedimentation basins. We've completed the draining and cleaning of Basins 1 and 2. To further enhance the basin's performance, we've initiated the preparation of mechanical equipment in Basin 1 for coating and replaced four outdated sludge valves with new, state-of-the-art equipment.

Project Update: LLWTP Sludge Improvement Project
We are pleased to provide a quick update on the ongoing Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant (LLWTP) Sludge Improvement Project.
In this phase, we are set to replace aging sludge valves with automated actuators, which will enhance the efficiency of the sludge removal process. Additionally, the sedimentation basins will undergo much-needed rehabilitation, including new coatings and leak testing to ensure their long-term performance and reliability.
After several months of preparation and securing parts, we’re excited to announce that construction is scheduled to begin in the third week of October 2024. This marks a critical step forward in maintaining the high standards of water treatment that support Denton’s community.
We look forward to keeping you informed as the project progresses!
