What we do in Texas
What MES does in Georgetown
MES provides water and wastewater engineering and site civil design for projects in Georgetown and Williamson County. We work for developers, utilities, municipalities and engineering firms.
The work runs from site layout, grading and drainage to water and sewer lines, fire flow checks and detention. Where a site cannot get sewer service, MES looks at on-site treatment and reuse.
How permitting and review work in Georgetown
Georgetown runs its own utilities. Georgetown Utility Systems provides water, wastewater and electric service. Its water service area covers about 440 square miles, well past the city limits.
Development follows the city's Unified Development Code. A project may need a rezoning, a plat and a site development plan, each reviewed by the city. Public water lines must also meet TCEQ rules.
Part of Georgetown sits over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. There, a regulated activity needs an Edwards Aquifer protection plan, such as a water pollution abatement plan (WPAP), approved by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) under 30 TAC Chapter 213.
Work nearby
In Georgetown, MES took a 9-acre mini-warehouse site through rezoning and into plat and site development permit review. The work covered fire flow, detention, drainage models and the TCEQ WPAP requirements.
MES also completed civil site plans for a drive-up water kiosk site in Georgetown.
In Taylor, also in Williamson County, MES secured TCEQ 210E reuse authorizations for an industrial site and a business park after the county denied septic permits.
Common questions
Does my Georgetown site need a WPAP?
If the site is over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone and the work is a regulated activity, yes. TCEQ must approve the plan before the activity starts. MES checks the zone early so the plan does not hold up the schedule.
What if the county denies a septic permit?
A TCEQ 210E reuse authorization may work. MES used this path for both Taylor sites. Each treats its wastewater and reuses it on site, with nothing discharged off site.
