SUBJECT
recommendation
Authorize funding in the amount of $4,910,000 for final engineering services with Freese and Nichols, Inc. associated with the design of the proposed pipeline from the existing Texoma-Wylie Raw Water Pipeline to the Terminal Storage Reservoir (TSR) at Leonard Water Treatment Plant (WTP).
end
PURPOSE
This project will divert 70 million gallons per day (MGD) of raw water from Lake Texoma to the Leonard WTP for blending with Bois d'Arc Lake water. This increases overall raw water available for treatment as Leonard WTP is expanded to its ultimate capacity of 280 MGD.

BACKGROUND
The Leonard WTP has an ultimate capacity of 280 MGD. Projected demand growth in the service area calls for the Leonard WTP to have a treatment capacity of 210 MGD no later than 2030. Under the current raw water supply configuration, increasing the Leonard WTP treatment capacity to 280 MGD will be constrained by the available water from Bois d'Arc Lake.
Due to changes in potential raw water supply in the ov...
