Water Treatment
The City's water supply has a Superior rating from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The system is inspected annually by the State.
To meet its needs Cleburne has rights to 5.14 million gallons of water a day (MGD) from Lake Pat Cleburne, 4.73 MGD from Lake Aquilla, and water rights to 8.66 MGD from Lake Whitney. Additionally, seven (7) wells, with a total capacity of 2 million gallons daily, are available as water sources.
Lake Aquilla water is delivered to either Lake Pat Cleburne or directly into the treatment plant via the Aquilla pump station and Barkman Pipeline. The city has four elevated tanks and additional water mains which help to serve the Industrial Park area of town.
The Water Treatment Plant is capable of treating 15 million gallons a day. Peak demand for treatment is approximately 11.3 million gallons, normally required in the month of August.
WATER DISTRIBUTION / WASTEWATER COLLECTION
The Water Distribution and Astute Collection Departments responsible for the operation and maintenance of over 500 miles of water and sewer lines within the city, they maintain all valves, manholes and over 1300 fire hydrants .
These crews repair leaks on city water mains and sewer mains, as well as on city service lines from the street to behind the curb. Water, sprinkler, and sewer taps are installed for connection to city mains.
The Wastewater Collection Department routinely runs sewer service lines from the cleanout to the main to maintain adequate flows.
All personnel in these departments are on a 24-hour a day standby status.
This department is also responsible for the maintenance of the 31 mile Barkman Pipeline which delivers raw water from Lake Aquilla to Cleburne. |

WASTEWATER TREATMENT
The City's current wastewater treatment process consists of two single stage nitrification plants with a capacity of 7.50 million gallons per day followed by a dechlorination facility for direct discharge.
Our effluent is regulated by EPA and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. It is treated for reuse and we are permitted to discharge into Buffalo Creek. Currently we provide approximately 2 million gallons daily to industrial customers.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant conducts various tests as required by its EPA and TCEQ permits.
Seven lift stations are monitored daily to ensure the uninterrupted flow of wastewater throughout the city's sanitary sewer system.
Plant personnel are responsible for monitoring and adjusting chemical dosages for the reuse water supply.
The City processes our sludge for beneficial use at land application sites.
INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT
The City of Cleburne Industrial Pretreatment Program was incorporated into our Wastewater Treatment Department with the approval of the EPA and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in 1983.
Six industries were originally permitted with the city, and several industries have been added and others removed since the start of the program. Of the twelve currently permitted industries, six are categorical users and six are significant industrial users.
Each industry must submit monthly discharge monitoring reports which include their discharge flows, testing results from their permitted outfall, and in some cases production information. These results must be evaluated to determine whether the industry is meeting their permitted wastewater effluent discharge limits.
These industries are charged for industrial waste water treatment based on the volume of discharge and their monthly testing results of BOD, TDS, and TSS. This is done to assure that industrial waste discharges pay their proportional share of loading capacity of the Wastewater Treatment Plant, as per city ordinance.
Each industry is inspected annually by the City of Cleburne to ensure compliance with all EPA and TCEQ pretreatment regulations. The inspection also provides the industries an opportunity to highlight other pollution prevention programs that the business has in place.
