The recommended water management strategies for DWU are as follows:
" Conservation
" Indirect Reuse Implementation - Main Stem Pump Station
" Indirect Reuse Implementation - Main Stem Balancing Reservoir
" Connect Lake Palestine (Integrated Pipeline, including connection to Bachman)
" Neches Run-of-River supply
" Lake Columbia
" Infrastructure to Treat and Deliver to Customers
These strategies are discussed individually below.
DWU Conservation. The conservation savings for DWU's retail and wholesale customers are based on
the Region C recommended water conservation program. Not including savings from low-flow plumbing
fixtures (which are built into the demand projections) and not including reuse, conservation by DWU retail
and wholesale customers is projected to reach 55,691 acre-feet per year by 2070.
Indirect Reuse Implementation - Main Stem Pump Station. "In December 2008, Dallas and the North
Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) entered into an agreement (swap agreement) for the exchange
of return flows. The swap agreement allows Dallas to use NTMWD return flows discharged into Lake Ray
Hubbard in exchange for NTMWD utilizing a portion of Dallas' return flows from the main-stem of the
Trinity River. Under the swap agreement Dallas and NTMWD will cooperate in the construction of a pump
station (Main Stem Pump Station) and transmission pipeline to deliver return flows (from Dallas and other
entities) from a location on the main stem of the Trinity River to an agreed "point of delivery" near the
NTMWD wetlands located near the East Fork of the Trinity River and Hwy 175 near Seagoville. When the
swap agreement is implemented, Dallas will have the right to utilize all NTMWD water discharged into
Lake Ray Hubbard. Until the swap agreement is implemented, Dallas has agreed to pass NTMWD's
discharges from Lake Ray Hubbard. The project to be constructed under the swap agreement includes the
construction of a Main Stem Pump Station and a pipeline to transport water to the NTMWD wetlands."
The amount of supply available from this strategy is 31 MGD (or 34,751 acre-feet per year).2016 Region C Water Plan
