Customer: Kings Manor Municipal Utility District
Challenge: To keep recently installed activated sludge plant in top condition
Solution: Long-term maintenance agreement to provide ongoing care and proactive repairs
Keeping wastewater treatment plants in compliance with proactive service and repair support
Kings Manor Municipal Utility District in Harris County, Texas, partnered with AUC Group to install a 400,000 GPD wastewater treatment plant. To protect this investment and ensure continuous compliance, the District entered AUC’s Asset Sustainability Program – a structured long-term maintenance plan covering inspections, proactive repairs, and ongoing support.
Without proactive care, the District risked costly emergency repairs and compliance issues, but AUC’s program provides peace of mind by extending asset life, protecting reliability, and ensuring service continuity.
Key elements of the program include:
- Proactive maintenance: Scheduled inspections, reporting, and recommendations for repairs and upgrades.
- Service continuity: Provision of a temporary wastewater treatment bypass plant during repairs to ensure unbroken compliance with discharge permits.
- Comprehensive expertise: Access to AUC’s full range of maintenance capabilities to address both routine needs and unexpected issues.
For more than a decade, AUC’s ongoing inspections and maintenance have kept the plant reliable year after year. Since the program’s launch, AUC has delivered extensive services to protect and extend plant life, including:
- Protective coatings and corrosion control: Recoating, touch-up painting, and galvanizing to extend equipment life.
- Cleaning and tank maintenance: Pump-downs and thorough cleaning of treatment basins.
- Mechanical and valve repairs: Replacement and troubleshooting of valves, piping, and aeration components.
- Structural upgrades: Reinforcement of walkways, handrails, and access bridges to maintain safe operations.
