Royal Lakes Estates Water Treatment Plant

The Royal lakes Estates Water Plant was designed to serve a 350 home, large lot subdivision in Fort Bend County, Texas.  Most lots in the subdivision are 3/4 acre in size and have larger than usual lawn areas, resulting in high water use rates in hot, dry months.  Based on experience with large lot subdivisions, WaterEngineers designed the Royal Lakes Estates Water Plant with the capacity of providing average daily flows of twice the TNRCC design rate per connection.

The first phase of the plant was designed to handle 50 connections and included a 6-inch, 200 gpm well and a 5,000 gallon hydropneumatic tank.  During the second phase a 65,000 gallon ground storage tank and two 300 gpm booster pumps were added to increase capacity to serve 250 connections.

In the future, a second 200 gpm well, another 65,000 gallon ground storage tank, two more 300 gpm booster pumps, a second 5,000 gallon hydropneumatic tank and a diesel powered auxiliary generator will be added.
