What we do in Texas
What MES does in Arlington
MES provides water and wastewater engineering and site civil design in Arlington and across Tarrant County. We design water and sewer lines, lift stations and drainage, and we prepare the civil plan sets that the city reviews.
We also back up civil engineering firms when their workload runs ahead of their staff. See engineering overflow support.
How permitting and review work in Arlington
The City of Arlington's Planning and Development Services department reviews site plans, plats and public improvement plans. Plans are submitted online. The city's Design Criteria Manual sets the standards for civil construction plans, with input from Public Works, Water Utilities and the Fire Department.
A driveway onto a state highway needs a TxDOT permit. A site that disturbs one acre or more needs coverage under TCEQ's Construction General Permit, TXR150000.
For master-planned communities, see our post on water supply planning in Tarrant County.
