The Set Point Control Project was undertaken to replace aging meter vault infrastructure and improve operational control of water supplied to municipal customers. The project aimed to modernize key distribution points and provide more reliable monitoring and management of water deliveries to partner cities. The project involves four new valve vaults with large-diameter site piping, valves, flow meters, and antenna towers to support improved system monitoring and communication. The improvements directly support water delivery operations for the City of Frisco, Town of Little Elm, and City of McKinney.
A critical component of the project was the meticulous planning and coordination required to integrate new infrastructure with existing major water service lines. Because the system supplies water to multiple municipalities, multiple 24-hour shutdowns and tie-ins had to be carefully scheduled and executed to minimize service disruptions. Extensive preparation and collaboration among the owner, engineer, contractor, and municipal stakeholders ensured that these complex transitions were completed safely and efficiently.
As a result of the project, NTMWD will operate with improved equipment and greater confidence in the accuracy and reliability of water delivery to its customers. The upgraded infrastructure will provide enhanced control, monitoring capability, and long-term reliability for the regional water distribution system, supporting continued growth and service demands across DFW.
