What we do in Texas
Water and wastewater engineering in College Station
MES provides water and wastewater engineering for development in College Station and across Brazos County.
We design water and sewer extensions, lift stations and force mains. Where a site cannot reach a city sewer, we design a package treatment plant and prepare the TCEQ application.
We also do site civil work, such as grading and drainage, and support projects through construction.
How permitting and review work in College Station
College Station Utilities is the city's water and wastewater utility. Lines that join the city system follow the city's design standards and plan review.
Outside the city, other utilities serve much of the land. Wellborn Special Utility District serves part of south Brazos County. The Public Utility Commission of Texas keeps the maps that show which utility holds the right to serve an area.
TCEQ sets the state design rules for public water systems and for wastewater systems. A private wastewater plant needs a TCEQ permit or other authorization.
Land outside the city limits also goes through Brazos County review. New water wells in the county fall under the Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District.

Next door in Bryan, MES prepared the civil site plans for two drive-up water kiosk sites. Both are part of a multi-site kiosk program that runs across seven states. MES has another project under way in Bryan.
Common questions
Who will serve my site with water and sewer?
It depends on where the land sits. Inside the city, it is usually College Station Utilities. Outside, it may be a special utility district or a water supply corporation. We check the service area maps during feasibility.
Can a site outside the city have its own wastewater plant?
It can, with a TCEQ permit or other authorization. A plant that discharges to a creek needs a TPDES permit. A site with an industrial wastewater stream may qualify for a Chapter 210 reuse authorization instead.
Do you work for cities and utilities too?
Yes. MES works for developers, utilities, cities and other engineering firms.
