The four tickling filters at the plant have deteriorated and need major rehabilitation. This project will
rehabilitate all the structural elements. The cost of this project is $2,000,000.
WATER LINE AND FIRE HYDRANT INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT
The City of Beaumont owns and operates 865 miles of water lines. Sixty percent of the water lines
have shown signs of deterioration. This pro -active project will replace deteriorated water lines prior
to failure to ensure uninterrupted service and adequate fire protection to the customers. The
estimated cost for the project is $1,000,000 per year.
TER PRODUCTION SYSTEM — REPAIRS
The City owns, operates, and maintains a water system that consists of canals, deep wells, booster
pump stations, water treatment equipment and a complex control system which requires constant
maintenance, repairs, and replacements. The estimated cost for the project is $1,400,000.
WEST SIDE WATER TREATMENT PLANT
A new water treatment plant to be located on the west side of Beaumont and outside of flood
prone areas would treat surface water provided by the LNVA. The plant would be designed
to provide 15 million gallons per day with the ability for the plant to be scaled up in the
future, if needed. Once online, this plant would replace the Loeb ground water treatment
plant. The estimated cost for this project is $100,000,000. The City plans to submit a grant
application to the State of Texas, General Land Office, for up to $100 million, with the City's
match requirement at 1% or $1 million. The City's portion would be paid for out of available
fund balance or water revenue bonds.
