Hudson Oaks presents three-part wastewater plan tied to Willow Park plant
Summary
Sterling Narin, city administrator for Hudson Oaks, told the Weatherford Municipal Utility Board about three concurrent projects: a 1,000,000-gpd Willow Park treatment plant (Willow Park 75%/Hudson Oaks 25%), a South Fork lift station, and a force main; he said the Willow Park facility is expected substantially complete in late May–early June.
Sterling Narin, city administrator for the city of Hudson Oaks, told the Weatherford Municipal Utility Board that Hudson Oaks is pursuing three simultaneous projects to develop a partner-operated wastewater system that will link to a new Willow Park treatment plant.
Narin described the three projects as a 1,000,000-gallon-per-day wastewater treatment plant in Willow Park (Willow Park to hold a 75% equity stake and Hudson Oaks 25%, equating to 250,000 gallons per day for Hudson Oaks), a South Fork lift station near the existing lift station that currently sends flows to Weatherford, and a force main to connect flows to the Willow Park facility. "So those are the 2 projects ... all 3 projects under construction," Narin said, and he added that permitting, plats and easements are in place.
Narin identified contractors by role: JRM is handling the lift station, FM Utilities the force main, and Greycon the Willow Park treatment facility construction. He told the board the Willow Park facility is scheduled for substantial completion in late May–early June and said the force main and the Hudson Oaks lift station would follow so the system ties together before the parties' current agreement expires in October 2026.
Narin emphasized that the work is ahead of schedule in places, that long lead times for equipment were managed by securing parts in advance, and that weather remains a risk to schedule. Board members asked questions about staging and interconnections; Narin said the phased work aligns with the city's general plan and will provide added capacity and redundancy.
No formal board action on the Hudson Oaks update was reported; the presentation served as a semiannual project status briefing. The report included contractor names, projected completion windows and the planned ownership split for the Willow Park plant.
