TASK 2. WATER RECLAMATION AND REUSE OPPORTUNITIES.
Identify opportunities for water reclamation and reuse in the study area:
• Based on the Texas Administrative code Title 30, Chapter 210 (30 TAC 210)
regulations on the use of reclaimed water, describe the potential for various uses of
reclaimed water, including but not limited to, environmental restoration, fish and
wildlife, groundwater recharge, municipal, domestic, industrial, agricultural, power
generation, and recreation. Describe water quality requirements for each potential
use.
• Define the water market for reclaimed water in the study area.
• Using information gathered in Task Error! Reference source not found.,
identify and screen potential reclaimed water users for inclusion in the project
based on their water use types and potential demand profile. Illustrate
potential reclaimed water users on a OIS map.
• Conduct meetings with up to 20 potential reclaimed water users to gauge
their interest in participating in the project. Present information about the
historical use of reclaimed water for the various uses, the City's existing
reclaimed water system, advantages of using reclaimed water,
responsibilities of the City and the potential users, and the process for
becoming a reclaimed water user.
• Identify users that are expected to contract for reclaimed water should it
become available. Obtain letters of intent from interested customers, if
possible.
■ Identify potential barriers to implementing a reuse project, such as physical
constraints, public acceptance, costs, etc. Identify methods to stimulate recycled
water demand and to eliminate obstacles which may inhibit the use of reclaimed
water, including pricing.
TASK 3. RECLAIMED WATER SOURCES AND REUSE TECHNOLOGY.
Identify the sources of reclaimed water and current and future reuse technologies:

■ Document the quality of the effluent from the VCWWTP. Identify
additional data necessary to evaluate reclaimed water quality
requirements and request that the City perform laboratory analyses.
Identify any parameters that limit the use of VCWVVTP effluent for
direct reuse and additional treatment processes necessary to remove
the limitation.
■ Review current and pending effluent discharge permit limits for the
existing VCWWTP and identify potential regulatory changes that could
impact effluent quality. Specifically consider the timing and effluent
quality improvements associated with future nutrient removal permit
requirements and the impact on various reclaimed water project
options.
■ Identify treatment processes necessary for the WRC to provide
reclaimed water of suitable quality for the intended uses. Assume that
the influent water quality is similar to that at the VCWWTP.

System, including a list of reclaimed water uses, types and amounts of reuse, and a
map of existing pipelines and use sites. Describe "lessons learned" during
implementation and operation of the existing project.
■ Summarize water reclamation and reuse technology currently in use and
opportunities for development of improved technologies.
TASK 4. WATER QUALITY MODELING.
If the Trinity Uptown/Central City demands are included in the proposed project, the City
would have to obtain a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit to
discharge reclaimed water to the urban water features. In addition, the Uptown/Central City
development will be a high-profile development for which maintaining favorable aesthetic
water quality conditions is a high priority. This task addresses water quality modeling to be
performed to address these issues.
• Meet with representatives of TRWD and/or TRVA to define water quality goals for the
Trinity River Vision Uptown/Central City project.
• Using water quality models already developed for the Trinity River Vision
Uptown/Central City project, evaluate discharge water quality likely to be required to
meet the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards, TPDES permitting requirements
and the water quality goals established above. Information from this modeling effort
will be used to define treatment goals for the alternatives in Task a.
TASKS. WATER SUPPLY ALTERNATIVES.
■ Define the water supply objectives that all alternatives are to meet.
■ Describe water supply alternatives (other than the proposed CFWRWDS) to meet
the objectives, including benefits of each alternative, total project cost, life cycle cost,

treatment upgrades, a WRC, pipelines, pump stations, etc., that is needed to
treat and convey reclaimed water to the potential customers while meeting
Federal and State legal and permitting requirements.

for the reclaimed water system alternatives.
TASK 6. IDENTIFY PIPELINE ROUTES.
Identify and select pipeline routes for Alternatives 1 through 3.
■ Perform a detailed analysis of potential pipeline routes based on the following
information:
o Aerial photographs
o Property ownership based on information available from Tarrant County
Appraisal District maps
o Water and sewer utility maps provided by the City

On March 0, 2012,the City Council authorized the application for financial assistance to the U.S.
Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation WaterSMART Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse
Program Resolution Flo. 4066-0302012. The Water Department is required to commit matching funds
in the amount of$122,017.00 through in-kind contribution of salaries and cash available in the Water
and Sewer Fund. in addition, the Tarrant Regional Water District has committed funds to the City to
support a feasibility study for water reuse, in the amount of$32,000.00.
This proposed feasibility study which the water department is seeking approval to execute with Alan
Plummer Associates, Inc., will examine alternatives to provide reclaimed water to customers in the
study area, located between the Village Creek Water Reclamation Plant(VCWRP) in east Fort Worth
and the central downtown area. Through the use of reclaimed water, the proposed project would
enhance the City's water efficiency, reduce its dernand for raw water from the Tarrant Regional Water
District, and help defer the need for additional raw water supplies and potable water treatment and
distribution facilities.
As part of the scope of work, Alan Plummer Associates, Inc., will evaluate three alternatives: (1)
delivery of reclaimed water from the VCWRP to potential customers, (2) delivery of reclaimed water
from a Water Recycling Center(WRC)to potential customers, and (3) delivery of reclaimed water to
potential customers from either the VCWRP or from a WRC. The proposed study will build on the
previous two studies by updating Alternative 1 with additional customers and updated costs and by
considering alternative supply sources and delivery infrastructure (Alternatives 2 and 3). Also, the
study will include the cost effectiveness and economic benefits of the proposed reclaimed water
project. The estimated time for completing the feasibility study will be 18 months beginning in
September 1, 2012 and ending in March 1, 2014.
Project funding is comprised of Water Department cash and in-kind services, U.S. Department of
Interior Bureau of Reclamation WaterSMART Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program funds
and Tarrant Regional Water District funds, A breakout of funding to meet statutory and regulatory
requirements for federal and non-federal funding is as follows:
