Walcrest Project Update – November 2022

The Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) Walcrest Pump Station and Reservoir project has been completed. We would like to thank the surrounding neighborhood and community partners for their patience, support and understanding during construction.

The completion of the renovations and improvements to the Walcrest Pump Station will help DWU meet its mission of consistently delivering safe drinking water to DWU customers. This project is vital in continuing that mission. The Walcrest Pump Station and Reservoir are part of a network of pump stations and water facilities that provide a critical and essential service to the City of Dallas and DWU customers.

To celebrate, DWU hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony and facility tour on August 25, 2022. The site’s landscaping project is substantially completed and currently, the contractor is working on final details to complete the project which include replacing the trees and plants that did not survive the summer heat.

The project website will be available through November 21, 2022, after which it will be closed. The public is advised to call 3-1-1 regarding any customer service requests for the Walcrest Pump Station.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR WALCREST

Put into service in 1956, the current Walcrest facility directly serves more than 200,000 area residents. Due to the facility’s age, the original pump station and reservoir exceeded their useful service life and underwent a major overhaul.

With the completion of the new facility, the Walcrest Pump Station & Reservoir provides greater efficiency, operational flexibility and enhanced water quality for the community for decades to come.
