Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility

The award winning Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility treats wastewater from over 880,000 people and many businesses in the 23 communities it serves.  The plant, which can process 166 million gallons of wastewater each day, is owned and operated by the City of Ft. Worth.  The facility is particularly important to the surrounding community.  During the dry months caused by the Texas heat, the Trinity River may be composed of up to 95% wastewater, and the performance of the Village Creek facility is critical to the river's vitality and usefulness as a water source for those downstream.

The odor control upgrade was expanded in 2005.  An organic biofilter was added so that BacTee's BioAer® system would be utilized.  The biofilter has 4 cells with each being 56ft by 90ft.  The original design flow for this system added in 2005 was 70,000 cfm and the biofilter used organic shredded wood media.  In early 2021, the biofilter flow rate was increased up to 100,800 cfm and engineered biofilter media was used.  That same BioAer® flooring installed in 2005 is currently used with the new engineered media.
