Thank you for visiting our site! We're excited to share important news about the future of wastewater treatment at Robson Ranch.

Currently, all wastewater from Robson Ranch is treated at the Robson Ranch Water Reclamation Plant (WRP), which is operating at 90% of its permitted capacity. To comply with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations and support ongoing development, we’re embarking on a critical expansion project.

Highlights of Robson Ranch Improvements Phase I:

  • Diverting 40% of wastewater flow to the Pecan Creek WRP, easing the load on the Robson Ranch facility.
  • Upgrading the Robson East Lift Station to handle increased capacity and ensure efficient pumping.
  • Installing an emergency generator to prevent service interruptions during power outages.
  • Replacing the UV disinfection system at Robson Ranch WRP to maintain TCEQ compliance.

This project will boost wastewater service capacity, support community growth, and ensure public health through safe and effective wastewater management. With these upgrades, we're preparing Robson Ranch for a sustainable and thriving future.

Thank you for your interest in our project. Stay tuned for more updates as we enhance our community's infrastructure!

    Big news from the Lift Station! We flipped the switch last Friday, and the station is back up and running smoothly. Here’s the latest:

    • Bypass Pumping: We’re gearing up to remove the bypass setup soon, clearing the way for the next steps.

    • Short Pause: Work will take a quick breather for a week to give Robson Ranch Developers access to a manhole on site. Teamwork makes the dream work!

    • Generator Pad: Once we’re back, we’ll be pouring the generator pad to keep things powered up.

  • Bypass and Vault Progress

    The contractor is diligently engaged in operations at the lift station site. The bypass process was successfully initiated at the lift station on January 28th. The contractor has skillfully replaced the outdated vault and has completed the tie-in process with precision. Currently, the contractor is addressing groundwater seepage concerns by expertly performing crack injection procedures to ensure the integrity and longevity of the infrastructure.

    The project has reached a significant milestone as we approach the commencement of the demolition phase. Contractors are actively preparing for the removal of the existing vault and obsolete piping infrastructure. This critical work has begun with the meticulous saw-cutting of designated areas, a necessary precursor to the main demolition activities.

    The successful implementation of the bypass system will serve as the crucial trigger for the commencement of demolition operations. We anticipate this pivotal phase with enthusiasm and look forward to achieving this important milestone in the project timeline.

    Our contractor is currently focused on several key preparatory tasks to ensure a seamless progression of the project. They are diligently developing comprehensive traffic control plans to manage and mitigate any potential disruptions effectively. In addition, a detailed three-week look-ahead schedule is being crafted to provide a clear roadmap of upcoming activities and milestones.

    Moreover, the team is actively working on securing a hydrant meter, which is essential for maintaining optimal workflow and resource management. These coordinated efforts are pivotal in setting the stage for a successful project execution.

    We’ll keep you informed as these elements come together and as we move closer to the project’s next phases.

    We recently held a productive preconstruction meeting with the City of Denton project management team, representatives from the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant, Parkhill Engineering firm, and Felix Construction contractors. This collaboration sets the stage for the upcoming work, with Felix Construction scheduled to commence potholing the force main within the next few weeks. Meanwhile, submittals are actively ongoing, ensuring that all necessary preparations are in place for a smooth and efficient project execution.

  • How a Lift Station Works

    A sewer lift station, also known as a pump station, plays a crucial role in wastewater management by lifting sewage from lower to higher elevations when the natural gravity flow is not sufficient. Here's how a typical sewer lift station works:

    1. Inflow: Wastewater from residential, commercial, and industrial areas enters the sewer system through underground pipes. Gravity carries the wastewater downhill to a low-lying collection point.

    2. Wet Well: At the lowest point of the collection system, there's a large underground storage tank called a wet well. This tank temporarily holds the incoming wastewater until it reaches a predetermined level.

    3. Pumps: When the wastewater level in the wet well reaches a certain height, sensors or float switches activate pumps installed in the lift station. These pumps are designed to handle sewage and solids efficiently.

    4. Lift and Discharge: The activated pumps lift the wastewater from the wet well and push it through force mains or pressure pipes. The force mains transport the wastewater uphill or to a treatment plant where it undergoes processing before being discharged into water bodies or reused.

    5. Control System: A control system, often automated, monitors the water level in the wet well, activates the pumps as needed, and adjusts pump speed based on flow rates. This system ensures optimal operation and prevents overflows or pump failures.

    6. Emergency Backup: Many lift stations are equipped with emergency backup systems such as generators or backup pumps. These systems kick in during power outages or pump failures, ensuring continuous wastewater pumping and preventing system failures.

    7. Maintenance: Regular maintenance and inspection are essential to keep the lift station running smoothly. This includes checking pump performance, cleaning wet wells, inspecting electrical components, and addressing any issues promptly to prevent disruptions in service.

    In essence, a sewer lift station uses pumps to lift wastewater from low-lying areas to higher elevations, overcoming gravity limitations and ensuring efficient wastewater transport in the collection system.
