Executive Summary & Impact

Project No. 28 in the 2019 Water Master Plan is the Capital Improvements project to expand the Bud Ervin Water Treatment Plant (BEWTP) from 45 million gallons per day (MGD) to 60 MGD capacity production of potable water. This project is funded primarily through a $50,000,000 bond issuance. Contract Amendment #1 was issued October 9, 2025 for $35,000 in the interest of conducting a Contact Time Study to comply with TCEQ requirements. The Study enabled us to split our monthly operating reports between the Conventional and Membrane plants, per TCEQ request. Resolution RE-3972-23 was approved January 23, 2023 for authorizing Plummer Associates, Inc. to design the Bud Ervin Water Treatment Plant Phase V Expansion. The scope of this contract includes design efforts to make improvements to the sodium hypochlorite (bleach) generators to support the treatment capacity improvements of the Bud Ervin Water Treatment Plant to approximately 62 million gallons per day (MGD). Resolution 4106-23 issued on October 23, 2023 approves the award of the CMAR contract to Archer Western Construction, LLC. Resolution 4484-25 issued on December 8, 2025 approves the guaranteed maximum price to not exceed $49,796,382.31 to Archer Western Construction, LLC. The Bud Ervin Water Treatment Plant generates sodium hypochlorite (bleach) onsite, which is used in the disinfection process of the treated water that is distributed to the residents of Mansfield. The sodium hypochlorite (bleach) generators were put into service in 2009 with a 15-year life expectancy. Maintenance staff has extended the life of the equipment through diligent routine maintenance and repairs. However, the caustic environment has progressively deteriorated the equipment and building conditions over the past couple of years. Repairs are becoming increasingly cost prohibitive and the equipment failures are damaging the concrete and ancillary equipment in the building. Additionally, advances in equipment technology and process impro
