Hewitt Engineering Inc. has recently designed three reclaimed wastewater ponds and pump stations for projects in the City of Kerrville. These ponds receive reclaimed wastewater from the City of Kerrville to be used for irrigation purposes. The three separate projects were completed for Schreiner University, Riverhill Country Club and the City of Kerrville Sports Center. The projects included preparation of the reclaimed wastewater pond and pump station plans, sections, details and technical specifications, design of the pump station intake structure, piping, gauges, meters and valve system, design of the reclaimed wastewater pump and motor and design of a prefabricated metal building to house the pump, piping and electrical equipment.
