The Crestview wastewater treatment plant and collection system was added to the GBRA Rural Water System for Calhoun County and began operations on February 22, 1999. The project was a joint effort involving the Golden Crescent Regional Planning Commission, Calhoun County Commissioners Court, and GBRA, in response to an extreme need for adequate treatment of domestic waste effluent.
Grant funding from the Texas Department of Community Affairs was obtained by Commissioners Court through the Planning Commission, and GBRA accepted operating responsibities. Victoria County Electric Cooperative also assisted by providing power transmission to the plant site.
About 43 residences are served by the system, and all these customers also receive their drinking water from the GBRA rural water system. The treated wastewater is discharged to Chocolate Bayou and exceeds (betters) the quality standards imposed by the state permit.
This project is a fine example of cooperation among several agencies and customers to improve the public health and welfare.
