Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Construction
Ferrovial has been awarded a $538 million contract to deliver the Mary's Creek Water Reclamation Facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The greenfield plant will process 10 million U.S. gallons of wastewater per day.
Why it matters
The project expands wastewater treatment capacity in western Fort Worth and creates a source of reclaimed water for future industrial and irrigation use. It is Ferrovial's largest water infrastructure project in the United States to date.
The $538 million contract will fund a facility sized to treat 10 million U.S. gallons of wastewater daily, a figure the source ties to the plant's design capacity. Payment terms and any scope changes after award were not detailed in the extraction.
The players
Ferrovial
Ferrovial is a Spanish multinational infrastructure company that develops and operates toll roads, airports, and water systems worldwide.
Webber
Webber is a Texas-based water and wastewater infrastructure contractor and a subsidiary of Ferrovial.
The details
Webber, Ferrovial's subsidiary, will build the facility, which includes equalisation and peak flow storage basins, preliminary treatment with screening and grit removal, bioreactors, advanced wastewater treatment, solids handling, and odour control. The plant is designed with advanced nutrient removal and membrane bioreactor technology.
Timeline
November 2026: Construction is scheduled to begin.
Summer 2030: The facility is expected to be completed.
Industry Shift
The award adds a large new treatment plant to Fort Worth's western wastewater network. It fits a broader pattern of Texas cities funding greenfield reclamation facilities to supply reclaimed water for industry and irrigation.
Fort Worth residents in the western part of the city will see wastewater capacity expand as the facility comes online. The reclaimed water it produces is intended for future industrial and irrigation users rather than for direct household consumption.
The takeaway
Large municipal water projects like Mary's Creek often take years from contract award to operation, so timelines from construction start to completion are worth tracking. The facility's reclaimed-water output will depend on future industrial and irrigation demand in the area.
What happens next
Construction of the Mary's Creek facility is scheduled to begin in November 2026, with completion expected in summer 2030.
