The City of Conroe's largest capital project in history is the Conroe Central Wastewater Treatment Plant. Originally designed with anaerobic digestion and carbon diversion, plans shifted at 75% of the design phase when the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality required the plant be relocated due to environmental concerns.
Despite that setback, the designer, city and contractor managed to save $4 million on the initial $64 million price while fulfilling the city's needs and staging the plant for future expansion and growth.
