Water & Wastewater Treatment
Water Treatment Plant
Supervisor - Carl Stevens
Our purpose is to ensure that safe and potable water is provided to the citizens of Deer Park. Our responsibilities include drinking water analysis and water quality reports. The Water Treatment Plant is located at 2117 East X Street and is under the supervision of Carl Stevens.
City of Deer Park has operated a Water Treatment Plant since 1989. One of the unique features of Deer Park's Water Treatment Plant is the state certified water bacteriology laboratory operated by the Public Works department staff. Deer Park is on of a very few small cities in Texas to operate such a facility. Each month this lab examines up to three times more water samples than are required by state and federal regulations. Through this aggressive testing program, the City is able to manage the water treatment process more effectively. As a result, the Water Treatment Plant has never had a water sample test positive for coliforms.
Where Do We Get Our Water?
Deer Park gets surface water from Trinity River via Lake Livingston. This water is purchased from the City of Houston through the Coastal Water Authority. The City of Houston provides an assessment bimonthly of the water that comes from the reservoir, located north of Lynchburg Landing. The water quality assessment aids in planning the proper treatment of the water. Besides surface water, the City of Deer Park maintains three wells on standby. These wells could be used on an emergency basis if the raw water supply should be interrupted for any reason. These wells draw water from the Gulf Coast Aquifer.
Wastewater Treatment Plant
Supervisor - Greg Holleman
Our purpose is to ensure that wastewater is efficiently and effectively collected from the public. Wastewater is collected from residences and businesses in sewer gravity mains. These gravity mains are connected to the various pump/lift stations that transport sewage to the Wastewater Treatment Plant located at 526 E. 2nd Street.
Each lift station has an alarm system that warns when a station is overloaded. If you hear the alarm coming from a station please call Public Works at 281-478-7253 to report it. The Wastewater Treatment Plant is under the supervision of Greg Holleman.
For information on water leaks, water main repairs, sewer backups and sewer line clogs, please see the "Maintaining the City" section of the Public Works website.
