Page 310 - Hurst FY19 Approved Budget

The Hurst water wells percent contribution increased from (0.486 MG) in 2017 to (32.68
MG) in 2018. Hurst water wells were in operation a total of 36 days from October 1, 2016
to September 11, 2017, which is up 33 days of operation for the same period the year
before.

The Stage 1 Drought restriction 2 day per week schedule was made permanent and year
round through ordinance on June 24, 2014. For all of the City’s residential, commercial
and industrial customers as well as municipal departments, Stage 1 limits watering
with an irrigation system or hose end sprinkler to two assigned days per week and
also prohibits watering between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The Tarrant Regional
Water District lifted Stage 1 Restrictions in June of 2015 however; the City of Fort Worth
maintained the ordinance requirements to its wholesale customers.

The infrastructure needed to distribute treated water to our customers consists of
approximately 204 miles of water mains ranging in size from six-inches (6”) to thirty-
inches (30”) in diameter. Six high service pump stations distribute treated water to
Hurst customers. These high service systems have the capacity to pump 33.048 MGD.
Water storage in the distribution system consists of nine ground storage tanks and three
elevated storage tanks with a combined capacity of 8.9 million gallons. Potable water
is supplied by the City of Fort Worth. However, during peak demands, the City of Hurst
utilizes three of six water wells that supplement the Fort Worth water supply. The three
remaining wells are brought online in emergency related situations only.

Approximately 155 miles of sanitary sewer mains ranging in size from six inches (6”) to
twenty-four inches (24”) in diameter comprise the wastewater collection system that
serves all developed areas within the city limits. Wastewater treatment is contracted
with the City of Fort Worth and the Trinity River Authority. Wastewater from North
Richland Hills, Richland Hills, and Bedford flows through the City of Hurst wastewater
system. The Bedford flows are un-metered, but calculated flows are based on residence
and commercial counts.

Environmental Services provides support for the Water and Wastewater Division by
collecting wastewater samples to monitor industrial customer’s discharges, and to
assess wastewater surcharges in our Commercial Wastewater Surcharge Program
on a quarterly basis. Environmental Services prepares the semi-annual Industrial
Pretreatment Report that is required by the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ), administrates the Cross-Connection Control Program, hosts Household
Hazardous Waste collection events, manages the Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Program in order to remain compliant with state and federal mandates, and manages
the Vector Control Program.
