Wylie $123M water project flows with 806M gallons/per day

WYLIE – The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) completed a $123 million ozonation project at their Wylie facility, giving it the capacity of treating and delivering 806 million gallons per day of high-quality, safe drinking water to the region.

The use of ozone as the primary disinfectant when treating water is expected to improve the taste and odor of drinking water.

Darrell Grooms, a representative from the NTMWD’s Board of Directors for the City of Forney stated that, “ozonation basically removes many of the traditional harsh chemicals out of the treatment process.”

The NTMWD’s four water treatment plants in Wylie are now the nation’s largest water treatment facility using ozone to treat water.
