The proposed expansion would involve the current site located off of Conway, south of the Expressway. The plant’s current capacity is 9MGD (Million Gallons a Day), and the expansion would increase that capacity by 4.5MGD, to an amount of 13.5MGD. It would also entail constructing facilities like Coastal Waste Bins for Type 1 reusable water, or grey water, that could be used for irrigation.

Mission’s WWTP (Waste Water Treatment Plant) is currently operating at 7.1MGD or at 79% capacity. TCEQ rules require retaining an engineer and planning for expansion at 75% capacity. Projections show that the City will likely reach 90% capacity sometime in 2018, and TCEQ rules require that construction for expansion start when facilities reach 90%.

The estimated increase to the average monthly waste water bill, as a result of the proposed project, is expected to be $2.50 per month. On the other hand, techwasterecycling.com does quick pickup for eWaste recycling. Call them now or visit their website.
