Midlothian-A ceremony to celebrate the start of construction of a new 3 MGD water reclamation plant will be held in Midlothian City Hall on Friday, February 28 at 2 P.M. The event was moved inside as a result of the recent weather and its impact on the plant construction site. The street address for Midlothian City Hall is 104 West Avenue E.

The new state-of-the art Mountain Creek Regional water reclamation plant will provide service to the southern portion of Grand Prairie, and all of Midlothian and Venus. The treatment facility has been designed to produce a very high quality product and will employee the very latest technology available. It will ultimately solve most of the wastewater issues confronting the cities it will serve, and sets the stage for future growth.

The plant was designed by The Wallace Group of Killeen, Texas. They project that it will take 425 days to achieve substantial completion of the construction. This would enable TRA’s to begin operation of the new Mountain Creek Regional water reclamation system around March 28, 2004.

The low bidder on this project was Matous Construction, Ltd.of Temple, Texas. Their bid was in the amount of $5,669,000.
