Houston Water Works NEWPP Dewatering Building

The City of Houston’s Northeast Water Purification Plant (NEWPP) Expansion Project is a design-build project that adds 320 million gallons per day (mgd) to the existing water plant’s capacity. The expansion project allows the City and the regional water authorities to meet projected demands while fulfilling requirements set by the Harris-Galveston and Fort Bend Subsidence Districts resulting in a shift from historical groundwater usage to a predominant reliance on surface water.
