Announcement: Opening of WHCRWA Central Pump Station

June 30, 2026

 The West Harris County Regional Water Authority has achieved a major milestone in its long-term surface water conversion program. On June 2, 2026, the Central Pump Station began pumping treated surface water originating from the Northeast Water Purification Plant at Lake Houston into the WHCRWA system for delivery to water plants.

HVJ is proud to have played a role in this important project by providing geotechnical and construction materials testing services for the pump station. Our solutions helped keep the project on budget and on schedule by resolving on-site problems and eliminating the need for costly deep-foundation work during the tank design phase.

The Central Pump Station is a major component of the Surface Water Supply Project, which supports WHCRWA’s long-term conversion from groundwater to surface water. Click here to read our full case study.
