(Wylie, Texas – September 22, 2018) The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) has experienced sanitary sewer overflows and unauthorized discharges of wastewater from the Wilson Creek and the Rowlett Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plants (RWWTP). These overflows were primarily caused by inflow and infiltration of stormwater into the wastewater collection system. The overflows occurred as follows:
The Wilson Creek WWTP located at 3020 Orr Road, Allen, Texas:
o From approximately 11:00 p.m. on September 21, 2018 to 9:30 a.m. on September 22, 2018 a volume of approximately 1,700,000 gallons was discharged from the head of the plant.
o Beginning at approximately 11:30 p.m. on September 21, 2018, a volume in excess of 2,000,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater was discharged from various plant locations. Estimated volume is as of 2:30 p.m. on September 22, 2018.
o Beginning at approximately 2:30 a.m. on September 22, 2018 a volume in excess of 100,000 gallons was discharged from a manhole upstream of the plant. The overflow is ongoing and is expected to stop as the flood waters recede.
o These flows traveled through the storm water system approximately 2,600 feet to Lavon Lake.
