During a recent inspection by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the MUD 25 wastewater treatment plant received high praise for its cleanliness, operational standards, and overall management. The TCEQ inspector conducted a comprehensive review as part of the state’s ongoing regulatory oversight and commended the facility, ultimately ranking it among the top three best facilities he has ever inspected.
As part of the inspection, all flow meters were checked and confirmed to be properly calibrated and clearly labeled with current calibration stickers. Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) backflow preventers were also verified, with testing records found to be up to date and readily available.
The inspector conducted a detailed review of the facility’s operational records from the past two years, all of which were found to be thorough, accurate, and well-organized. Key infrastructure systems, including a lift station, were inspected, with all floats confirmed to be operating as intended. The bar screen was clean and properly maintained, and the blowers were tested and found to be functioning optimally.
Effluent quality readings confirmed that discharged water remained well within all regulatory limits. A review of the chemical storage rooms also confirmed that all required ventilation fans were in place and fully operational.
This high level of performance is a direct result of the expertise, diligence, and professionalism of MUD 25’s operators. The TCEQ inspector’s comment that MUD 25 ranks among the top three facilities he has ever inspected is a testament to their commitment and excellence.
