DCCM was selected to provide preliminary engineering, final design, and construction services to decommission the existing Countryside Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and install a new lift station and new force main to divert wastewater to the existing Southwest Water Reclamation Facility. The existing lift station was decommissioned and replaced with a new 10-foot lift station featuring three 20-horsepower submersible pumps, providing a firm capacity of 850 gallons per minute for diversion service.

The design included modifications to the existing sewer collection system, including the addition of new manholes and gravity lines to intercept and divert sewer flow to the new lift station. Construction sequencing, bypass pumping, and coordination were carefully planned to allow the construction of the new lift station, sewer diversion, and demolition of the existing lift station and wastewater treatment facilities.

The new lift station featured a programmable logic controller (PLC)-based pump control panel, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) access via a wireless antenna for remote monitoring, and a manual transfer switch to facilitate emergency generator connection in accordance with TCEQ requirements.
