Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) and the City of Dallas Water
Utilities (DWU) have partnered to finance, plan, design, construct and
operate the IPL Project. The IPL Project is an integrated water delivery
transmission system connecting Lake Palestine to Lake Benbrook with
connections to Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers Reservoirs integrating
TRWD's existing pipelines and creating flexibility in delivery as well
as quick response to fluctuating customer water demands. The Integrated Pipeline Project (IPL)
consist of 150 miles of pipeline, three new lake pump stations, and
three new booster pump stations delivering a required capacity of 350
million gallons per day (MGD) of raw water to North Central Texas.
The
$2.3 billion project will bring much anticipated water capacity to the
region, which is expected to grow substantially over the next five
decades. Each project is expected to be approximately $100 million,
with a significant amount of that going toward the purchase of the
piping materials.
The
first of the projects is expected to be released in early 2014. The
first segment, 15–1 will be in Navarro County and consist of
approximately 15 miles of 108–inch diameter pipe. The second and
subsequent projects will be rolled out regularly over the next several
years as the project gradually works its way from Navarro County back
toward southern Tarrant County. Additional projects will ultimately
connect the Navarro County segments to Lake Palestine.
