Project Name Project Description
Assess and Repair 16- This project will consist of assessing the 16-inch concrete bar-wrap pipe (BWP) water transmission main that begins at the
inch Water Transmission Airport Freeway entry point and extends to the Conn Ground Storage Tank. This transmission main transports water from
Main - Continuing Project the city of Fort Worth to the city of North Richland Hills. The total length of pipe to be inspected is approximately 8,300
linear feet. There are 7 different phases to the assessment: site reconnaissance and project planning, transient pressure
monitoring, leak and air pocket detection, electromagnetic (EM) inspection, pipe performance curve, final report, and field
verification/validation. These seven phases will identify the pipe that needs to be reconstructed or rehabilitated. Once the
assessment has been completed, staff will begin planning the identified necessary repairs and or section replacements.
Staff has already identified a section of pipe, roughly 300 feet, along Airport Frwy that will be repaired during this project.
An entry point and exit point will be constructed to gain access for the assessment.

Big Fossil Creek This project consists of constructing a parallel wastewater outfall main from the North Richland Hills metering station, which
Wastewater Outfall - is north of State Highway 10 to the Trinity River. North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Haltom City, and Fort Worth discharge
Continuing Project sanitary sewer into this section of the existing outfall mains. Each city will pay a portion of the cost based on volume of flow
from their city. The size of the main will vary, but will be as large as 90" in diameter. North Richland Hills will need to pay for
connecting its existing outfall to the new outfall. After the new outfall is complete, both wastewater pipelines will be owned,
operated and maintained by Fort Worth as part of its system.

College Hill Ground This project will consist of constructing two water pipes so the storage tank will fill from the top. The pipe being added is
Storage Tank Stand called a stand pipe. This will allow new water to be added to the tank in order to mix with the older water in the tank.
Pipe - Continuing Project

Franklin Court Sewer This project consists of design and construction of a new 6” sanitary sewer along Franklin Court with a partial connection to
Addition and Gifford Gifford for future development. The project will consist of approximately 1,000 linear feet of 6” sanitary sewer.
Connection - Continuing
Project

Johnson Pump Station This project will consist of the replacement of (2) two pumps and motors inside the Johnson Pump Station facility located at
Component and 8501 Harwood Road. Included will be replacement of a short section of discharge header pipe outside the pump station,
Infrastructure replacement of the entry pipe from the road side to the storage tank, and replacement of the manually operated water valve
Replacements - with a motorized valve on the entry pipe.
