The water distribution network was designed as a public water system in accordance with TCEQ, AWWA, and NFPA standards. The design included 40 gate valves and 23 fire hydrants, in addition to the 13,000 linear ft. of waterline. We used the EPANet 2.0 model for analysis of the water mains. For the wastewater collection system, we evaluated alternatives, and a low pressure system was selected and designed. Our design of the storm drainage system included several lakes for storm water retention to mitigate runoff, developed in accordance with Brazoria County Drainage District Guidelines. Kenall also prepared construction documents and oversaw construction for the entire project.
