What we do in Texas

Water and wastewater engineering in Dallas-Fort Worth

MES is based in McKinney, in Collin County. We provide water and wastewater engineering for development across the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

We design water and sewer lines, lift stations, force mains and package treatment plants. We also do site civil work and support projects through construction.

We work for developers, utilities, cities and other engineering firms. Firms that need more hands can use our overflow support.

How permitting and review work across DFW

Each city reviews plans for lines that join its system, under its own design standards.

Many cities buy wholesale service from regional providers. The North Texas Municipal Water District serves many Collin County cities. The Trinity River Authority's Central Regional Wastewater System treats wastewater from all or parts of Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington and other cities. The Upper Trinity Regional Water District serves cities in and near Denton County.

TCEQ sets the state design rules for public water systems and for wastewater systems. A new private wastewater plant needs a TCEQ permit or other authorization.

Outside city limits, land may sit in another utility's service area. The Public Utility Commission of Texas keeps those maps.

Work nearby

In Dallas County, MES designed a 2-acre retail plaza in Seagoville and a contractor site master plan in Hutchins. North on I-35, we designed an office and retail center in Corinth. East of Dallas, we designed a car wash site in Fate.

Our drive-up water kiosk program also has sites in Fort Worth, Arlington and Garland.

Common questions

Do you work outside Collin County?

Yes. We work across the metro, from Fort Worth to Kaufman County, and across Texas.

Can you support our engineering firm on a DFW project?

Yes. We can take the water and wastewater part of a civil project, or add capacity when your team is busy.

Can a site without city sewer get wastewater service?

Often, yes. Options include an extension, a package plant with a TCEQ permit, or, for sites with an industrial wastewater stream, a Chapter 210 reuse authorization.
