Integrating ASR and DPR to Enhance the City of Kerrville’s Water Supply

The City of Kerrville currently has a successful water reuse program which provides reclaimed water from its Water Resource Recovery Facility (Wastewater Treatment Plant) to various customers for irrigation of golf courses, recreational areas and landscape, as well as other non-potable uses. In order to expand the available usage of this resource, the City is seeking to construct reclaimed water storage ponds to increase the flexibility of matching water supply and demand. The City is also interested long-term in the potential to convert some of its treated effluent into a supplemental source of domestic supply for the City. The City retained Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI) to investigate necessary environmental permitting, geotechnical conditions, hydrologic and hydraulic analyses and regulatory requirements for the implementation of this future reuse project.
